Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.
