Explanation

**Paramagnetism** has small positive χ ≈ 10⁻³ to 10⁻⁵, weakly attracted towards stronger field, random moments align partially with B, magnetization decreases with temperature following Curie law χ ∝ 1/T. Materials have unpaired electrons with permanent moments. For a superconductor below its critical temperature, the susceptibility chi = -1 and relative permeability μ_r = 0 , but in a broader context, susceptibility can approach zero for non-magnetic materials or when magnetization is negligible compared to the applied field. However, the question implies a specific state, and superconductors achieve this uniquely with perfect diamagnetism. Substituting values gives It exhibits perfect diamagnetism, which matches expected magnitude for
