Metal paper clips do not attract or repel each other. When an electromagnet is placed nearby, the paper clips can be observed to move toward it. Which statement describes this phenomenon?(1 point) Responses Paper clips turn into permanent magnets after exposure to a magnetic field. Paper clips turn into permanent magnets after exposure to a magnetic field. Electrons flow freely into the magnetic field, causing the paper clips to move. Electrons flow freely into the magnetic field, causing the paper clips to move. Magnetic domains within the paper clips align with the magnetic field. Magnetic domains within the paper clips align with the magnetic field. The electromagnet reacts to the strong force of attraction from paper clips.

The correct statement that describes this phenomenon is: Magnetic domains within the paper clips align with the magnetic field.
When the electromagnet is placed nearby, its magnetic field causes the magnetic domains within the metal paper clips to align, resulting in a temporary magnetization that attracts the clips towards the electromagnet.
