The correct statement that describes the phenomenon is:
Magnetic domains within the paper clips align with the magnetic field.
When the electromagnet is brought near the metal paper clips, the magnetic field from the electromagnet causes the magnetic domains within the paper clips (which are usually randomly oriented) to align with the field, resulting in a net magnetic attraction that causes the paper clips to move toward the electromagnet.
