When two magnets with like poles facing each other are brought close together, they repel each other due to the like poles. As they are held close, work is done against this repulsive force to keep them apart, which means energy is being stored in the system.
When they are released, they will move away from each other, and the stored energy decreases as the magnets separate. Therefore, the energy stored decreases.
The correct response is: **The energy stored decreases.**
When they are released, they will move away from each other, and the stored energy decreases as the magnets separate. Therefore, the energy stored decreases.
