Imagine you are on a field trip to a science museum and you encounter an exhibit displaying how magnetic forces work. There are two magnets, one is fixed at one end of the table and the other is free to move. When you push the movable magnet towards the fixed one, you notice that at a certain point the movable magnet suddenly 'jumps' and sticks to the fixed magnet. Considering the fundamental principles of magnetism, can you explain why this phenomenon occurs?

The 'jump' and sticking of the movable magnet to the fixed magnet is due to the electrostatic force between the two magnets.

The 'jump' and sticking of the movable magnet to the fixed magnet is due to the gravitational pull between the two magnets.

The 'jump' and sticking of the movable magnet to the fixed magnet is due to the frictional force between the two magnets.

The 'jump' and sticking of the movable magnet to the fixed magnet is due to the magnetic force of attraction between opposite poles of the two magnets.

The 'jump' and sticking of the movable magnet to the fixed magnet is due to the air pressure difference between the two magnets.
