Substances that are weakly magnetised in a field are:
AParamagnetic
BDiamagnetic
CFerromagnetic
DNon magnetic
Answer & Solution

1. The three classes differ in how strongly they respond.
2. One class follows the field, but only feebly.
3. Those are paramagnetic substances.
4. So the answer is paramagnetic.
