Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used. 

While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.

The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.

Before going to answer this question first we have to know the fundamental principle of magnetism.

A magnet have two poles .The important characteristic of a magnet is that like poles will repel each other while unlike poles will attract each other.

Through this concept the question can be answered  as explained below-

A-As per first option the side of  magnet A is repelled by the south pole  of magnet B. Hence the pole of a must be south .It can't be north as it will lead to attraction.

B-The side of magnet A is repelled by the  north pole of magnet B. Hence the side of A must be  north pole.It can't be a south pole.

C-The side of magnet A is attracted by the south pole  of magnet  B .Hence the side of magnet A must be north.Hence this is right

D-The side of magnet A is attracted by the north pole of magnet B. Hence the side of A must south.It can't be north as it will lead to repulsion.

Hence the option C is right.
