The best solution among the options provided is:

A. use a bigger magnet to increase the size of the magnetic field

A larger magnet will have a stronger magnetic field, which can attract the metal from a greater distance. The other options do not effectively address the issue of distance or might not enhance the magnet's ability to attract the metal.
