CONCEPT:

  • Curie Temperature: It is the temperature at which a magnetic material undergoes a sharp change in its magnetic properties.
    • Above this temperature, some materials lose their magnetism.
      • Above this temperature, ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic.

EXPLANATION:

  • When a ferromagnetic material is heated to Curie temperature, it disrupts the arrangements of the molecules and a weak magnetic behavior remains.
  • This weak magnetic behavior is called Paramagnetic.
  • Above this temperature, the paramagnetism property also decreases.
  • Upon cooling, it regains its ferromagnetic behavior.
  • So the correct answer is option 1.
