Concept:Soft iron is easily magnetised and demagnetised, whereas steel is harder to magnetise but retains magnetism strongly.
Explanation:Soft iron has high permeability and low retentivity, so it becomes magnetised quickly and also loses its magnetism readily.
Steel has lower permeability but high retentivity, so it is not magnetised as easily as soft iron, yet it holds its magnetism very well.
Thus, the claim that steel is more magnetised than soft iron is false because soft iron is the material that magnetises more easily.
The other statements about making permanent magnets from steel, and soft iron being more readily magnetised and demagnetised, are correct.
Answer:A. steel is more magnetized than soft iron
