Answer

(c) The position of neutral points does not depend on the direction of the magnet.

Reason — As neutral points are the points at which two magnetic fields are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, hence, the position of neutral points depends on the direction of the magnet. Therefore, the statement “The position of neutral points does not depend on the direction of the magnet” is incorrect.
