D. the magnetic field around the magnet

Iron filings become tiny induced magnets and align along the magnetic field lines of the bar magnet (showing the pattern from one pole toward the other). Static electricity and gravity do not produce the organized line pattern; a bar magnet does not produce an electric field unless charged.
