Paper clips are made of steel wire. The picture shows paper clips around two different types of magnets. Why are the paper clips bunched at the ends of each magnet?

The magnetic force at the poles of each magnet are strongest, so they attract more paper clips.

The paper clips are only touching the poles, so they are not attracted to other parts of the magnet.

Some parts of each magnet repel the paper clips, but the poles of each magnet attract the paper clips.

There is only current flowing through the ends of each magnet.
