    Option A

    Explanation:

    Ferromagnetic materials have the property to be attracted to magnets while ferrimagnetic material is the magnetic property of materials having atomic moments aligned in opposite directions. In ferrimagnetic material as the magnetic moments are aligned in opposite direction, they cancel out the magnetic field.
