Correct answer

D. remain constant

Step-by-step solution

When the magnetic field is elevated until the magnetization attains a constant value, the paramagnetic material achieves magnetic saturation.

At magnetic saturation, all the atomic magnetic dipoles are perfectly aligned in the direction of the external magnetic field, and the magnetization reaches its maximum possible value, M=NμM = N \mu, where NN is the number of atoms per unit volume and μ\mu is the magnetic moment of each atom.

Lowering the temperature reduces thermal agitation, which normally opposes the alignment of dipoles. However, since all dipoles are already perfectly aligned at saturation, a decrease in temperature cannot increase the alignment any further.

Therefore, the magnetization will remain constant.
