The correct answer is A. Diamagnetic.
Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by a magnetic field. This is because the electrons in a diamagnetic material are arranged in such a way that they create a magnetic field that opposes the external magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnetic field. This is because the electrons in a ferromagnetic material are arranged in such a way that they create a magnetic field that is aligned with the external magnetic field.
Paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to a magnetic field. This is because the electrons in a paramagnetic material are arranged in such a way that they create a magnetic field that is slightly aligned with the external magnetic field.
Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to a magnetic field. This is because the electrons in a non-magnetic material are arranged in such a way that they create a magnetic field that is not aligned with the external magnetic field.
