A hunk of iron is shown to not have any magnetism associated with it when a student tries to suspend iron nails from it. Subsequently, a large electromagnet lifts the hunk of iron into the air. Once the hunk of iron is removed from the electromagnet the student then suspends iron nails from it. Which of the following best explains this phenomenon?

22.
A hunk of iron is shown to not have any magnetism associated
with it when a student tries to suspend iron nails from it.
Subsequently, a large electromagnet lifts the hunk of iron into the
air. Once the hunk of iron is removed from the electromagnet the
student then suspends iron nails from it. Which of the following
best explains this phenomenon?
A. The hunk of iron maintained a magnetic flux after being removed
from the electromagnet.
B. A current, predicted by Lenz's Law and produced by the
electromagnet, caused the hunk of iron to lose its ferromagnetic
properties.
C. The magnetic domains in the hunk of iron grew and aligned
under the influence of the electromagnet.
D. Two of the answers above are true.
