The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Magnetism**: - A magnet has the ability to attract certain materials. The materials that are attracted to magnets are known as magnetic materials. 2. **Identifying Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic Materials**: - Magnetic materials include substances like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Non-magnetic materials include brass, aluminum, and glass. 3. **Induction of Magnetism**: - A magnet can induce magnetism in materials that are magnetic. This means that when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, it can become magnetized itself. 4. **Analyzing the Given Materials**: - In the question, we have brass, aluminum, glass, and iron. - Brass, aluminum, and glass are non-magnetic materials and will not be attracted to a magnet or become magnetized. 5. **Conclusion**: - Iron is the only material listed that is magnetic. Therefore, a magnet can induce magnetism in iron. ### Final Answer: A magnet can induce magnetism in **iron**. ---
