Answer 2

north pole and merge at the south pole.
The magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole of a magnet and merge at the south pole.

In other words, each magnetic field line is directed from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole. Each field line, indicates, at every point on it, the direction of the magnetic force that would act on a north pole if it were placed at that point.
