Jolie builds a model of a maglev train. She uses disc magnets to levitate the train. A disc magnet has its north and south poles on its faces, as shown.

What is the best way to arrange the magnets on the train and on the track so that the model train levitates?

flat, so that the north pole of each magnet on the train points up and the north pole of each magnet on the track points up
flat, so that the north pole of the magnets on the train point up and the north poles of the magnets on the track point down
on edge, so that the north poles of the magnets on the train point to the front and the north poles of the magnets on the track point toward the rear
on edge, so that the north pole of each magnet on the train and on the track point toward the rear of the train

Remember that when dealing with magnetism opposites are attracted to eachother and similar are repelled so if you want the maglev train to float, you´d need equal poles facing eachtoher in order to be repelled from one another, so the only option that actually is creating a repellent force upward for the train against the track would be the option B.

The best way for Jolie to build this train so that the model train levitates is:

flat, so that the north pole of the magnets on the train point up and the north poles of the magnets on the track point down

The law of attraction

The law of attractions says that opposite sides attract while same sides repel each other. This is applicable to magnetism.

Therefore if the train is to float, then both equal sides are to be made to repel each other.

This would make the second option to be the best answer.
