When a substance set it's length at right angle with the magnetic field it is said to be DIAMAGNETIC.While when the length of a substance is in the direction or in line with the magnetic field it is said to be PARAMAGNETIC.

The correct answer is:

C. diamagnetism

Explanation:

Diamagnetism is a property of materials that causes them to create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field. As a result, diamagnetic substances are repelled by magnetic fields, and if placed in a strong magnetic field, they tend to align perpendicular to the field rather than along it.

This behavior contrasts with:

Paramagnetism (B): materials that align with the magnetic field.

Ferromagnetism (E): strong attraction and alignment with the field (like iron).

Magnetization (A): general term for the process of becoming magnetized.

Demagnetization (D): the process of removing magnetic properties.
