Based on the information provided in the question, the best conclusion the student can make from her experiment is:
Magnetic fields can be observed between objects that are not touching.
This conclusion reflects the principle that a magnet can influence a magnetic object (like a paper clip) from a distance, demonstrating the presence of a magnetic field without direct contact.
