Correct option is A)

Hint: Magnetic susceptibility is a proportionality constant that determines the degree of magnetization of a material with respect to the applied magnetic field.

Solution:

Step1: The magnetic susceptibility denotes whether a material is repelled out or attracted of a magnetic field. It is negative only for diamagnetic material and it is positive for paramagnetic material and ferromagnetic material has large positive magnetic susceptibility. Hence option ‘A’ is correct.
