The magnetic property of (magnetite) is

  1. Aferromagnetism
  2. Bantiferromagnetism
  3. Cdiamagnetism
  4. Dferrimagnetism

Answer: D

In the magnetic moments of the ions are aligned in parallel and antiparallel directions in unequal numbers, giving a net moment. This is ferrimagnetism; on heating above its Curie temperature it becomes paramagnetic.
