    A Clock Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Magnet Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Electrical switchboard Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Radio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The cassette tape contains a magnetic strip wound around two spools. Tiny magnetic particles are randomly scattered throughout the tape. A tape recorder should not be kept near a magnet as the latter can cause the magnetic material to be pushed and pulled out of place. Rearranging the magnetic particles erases the sound.
