G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Paramagnetic substances align weakly along an external magnetic field. Their magnetic susceptibility is small and positive. They move from weaker field region to stronger field region, and are only weakly attracted. Therefore, statements A and C are correct. Hence Option D is correct.
