B. Each half is stronger magnet than the original magnet
C. Each half has both a north pole and a south pole
D. The two halves are no longer magnetic
A magnet is basically a bundle of tiny magnets,magnetic domains. Each one has a tiny north and south pole. If you cut one in half, the newly cut faces will become the new north or south poles of the smaller pieces.
