    B) Magnetized

    Electrons can behave as tiny magnets, each with north (N) and south (S) poles. When an atom's electrons are lined up in the same orientation, with most having their N pole facing one direction, the atom becomes like a magnet, with N and S poles. It is also possible for the electrons to be in various directions, making the atom not magnetic.
