Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is true.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Explanation:
Statement \( I \) is incorrect: Diamagnetism arises due to the orbital motion of electrons induced by an external magnetic field. This magnetic response is completely unaffected by thermal agitation, making the diamagnetic property independent of temperature.

Statement \( II \) is true: By definition and according to Lenz's law, when a diamagnetic material is exposed to an external magnetizing field, the induced magnetic dipole moment develops in a direction completely opposite to the applied field, causing the material to undergo a weak repulsion.

Therefore, Statement \( I \) is incorrect but Statement \( II \) is true, which corresponds to option A.
