Two objects repel each other. This repulsion could be due to the
$(a)$. frictional force only
$(b)$. electrostatic force only
$(c)$. magnetic force only
$(d)$. either a magnetic or an electrostatic force

Academic Physics NCERT Class 8

Two objects repel each other either due to electrostatic force when they have similar charges or due to magnetic force when they have the same poles.

So, option $(c)$ is correct.
