If asked to describe metals and magnesium, you could say the electrons in some metals pair up to create a magnetic field. The correct answer is D.

Ariella Mueller · Answer 2

Answer : Option D) the electrons in some metals pair up to create a magnetic field.

Explanation : Most of the metalsare magnetic in nature including some exceptions. When the unpaired electrons get aligned with the magnetic field they posses magnetism. Also there are some paired electrons in metals which align themselves according to the magnetic field and create magnetism in them.
