Which is an important step in how an electric motor uses magnetic force to produce motion?

A
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the north pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then attract.
B
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the south pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then repel.
C
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the north pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then repel.
D
As the north pole of the electromagnet nears the south pole of the permanent magnet, the current reverses and the poles of the magnets then attract.
