Solution

The correct option is C
Coating it with oil

On coating a magnet with a layer of oil, the magnet does not lose its magnetism. Ferromagnetic materials lose their magnetism if heated above a point known as the Curie temperature. Similarly, on dropping it on the floor repeatedly and hitting a magnet with a hammer repeatedly, can lead to loss of magnetism.
