Solution

The correct option is A Diamagnetic
Diamagnetic substances experiences a weaker force to external magnetic fields. The dipole moment due to spin of electrons is zero in these substances and hence on exposure to external field, they don't experience significant force. Thus they move very slowly in a magnetic field.
