D.

Magnet 2 is an electromagnet (coil and core) whose magnetic field exists only when electric current flows, so it can be turned on and off easily. Magnet 1 is a permanent magnet and stays magnetic. The other choices are incorrect: both attract the same kinds of ferromagnetic materials, both can attract or repel depending on pole orientation, and permanent magnets are not merely temporary.
