Flux line sensitizer? That's the only option that makes sense. You'd have to be a total dunce to choose anything else.

I think a Magnetic-field-sensitive crayon would be great for kids to learn about magnetic fields! But for a certification exam, C seems like the most technical and professional answer.

I'm not sure, but I think C) Flux line sensitizer could also be used to confirm the direction of magnetic flux.

I agree with Junita, because a magnetic-field-sensitive crayon can show the direction of magnetic flux.

The direction of magnetic flux can definitely be confirmed using a compass. Option A is just plain silly.

Calibration gauge could be useful too, but compass is the most common choice.
