The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Curie's law for paramagnetic substances says the magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to absolute temperature: \(\chi=\dfrac CT\).

Step 2: Product:
So \(\chi T=C\), a constant. This is the Curie constant.

Step 3: Check the others:
Diamagnetic susceptibility is small, negative and almost independent of temperature. Ferromagnetic substances follow the Curie-Weiss law, \(\chi=\dfrac{C}{T-T_c}\), so \(\chi T\) is not constant. Hence (A), (C) and (D) are wrong.

Step 4: Choose:
Option (B).

Final Answer:
Curie law holds for paramagnetic substances. \[ \boxed{B:\ \text{paramagnetic substance}} \]
