I'm thinking about making a ribbon mic from scratch. I would like to confirm that the correct orientation of the magnets should be with respect to the ribbon. There are four general orientations: (A) The planes of the active magnet surfaces are parallel to the ribbon surface and with the same polarity; (B) the planes are parallel with opposite polarity; (C) the planes are orthogonal to the surface of the ribbon with the same polarity (i.e. S-to-N, pulling each other together); (D) the planes are orthogonal to the surface with the opposite polarity (S-to-S, pushing against each other).
(By the way, N=North, S=South)

Which is right?
Thank you!
