The correct response is:

Magnets in the track and magnets in the bottom of the train repel each other.

In a maglev train, the train uses electromagnets that generate a magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic field of the track. This setup causes the train to levitate due to magnetic repulsion, enabling it to float above the track without physical contact.
