AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) red. By convention, the north pole of a magnet is painted red. This is a widely accepted standard in order to easily identify the north and south poles of a magnet. The north pole is painted red to differentiate it from the south pole, which is typically painted blue or black. The other answer choices are incorrect because black, white, and blue are not the conventional colors used to identify the north pole of a magnet.
