Question

A solid iron cylinder is placed in a region containing a uniform magnetic field such that the cylinder axis is parallel to the magnetic field direction. The magnetic field lines inside the cylinder will

The correct answer is

bend closer to the cylinder axis

Iron has much higher magnetic permeability than the surrounding air. Flux preferentially passes through the finite cylinder, concentrating the field lines toward its axis as they enter. Thus the first choice describes the expected flux concentration.
