Correct answer
A. paramagnetism
Step-by-step solution
Nickel exhibits ferromagnetism because of a quantum physical effect called exchange coupling in which the electron spins of one atom interact with those of neighbouring atoms. The result is alignment of the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms, inspite of the randomizing tendency of atomic collisions. This persistent alignment is what gives ferromagnetic materials their permanent magnetism. If the temperature of a ferromagnetic material is raised above a certain critical value, called the Curie temperature, the exc
