Magnetic lines of force due to a bar magnet do not intersect because

  • A

    A point always has a single net magnetic field

  • B

    The lines have similar charges and so repel each other

  • C

    The lines always diverge from a single point

  • D

    The lines need magnetic lenses to be made to intersect
