Which type of magnetic material is strongly attracted by a magnet and can be permanently magnetized?

A. Diamagnetic
B. Paramagnetic
C. Ferromagnetic✓ Correct Answer
D. Antiferromagnetic

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel exhibit strong positive magnetic susceptibility and can retain permanent magnetization even after the external magnetic field is removed. In contrast, diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by magnetic fields, whereas paramagnetic substances show weak attraction.
