The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Explanation of Diamagnetism:
- Diamagnetic materials exhibit a weak repulsion to external magnetic fields.
- Magnetic susceptibility (\( \chi \)) for diamagnetic substances is small and negative (\( \chi<0 \)).
- This means they develop an induced magnetic field in the opposite direction of the applied field.
Thus, the correct answer is Small and negative.
