C Correct answer
Explanation

Both bismuth and antimony are diamagnetic materials, meaning they are weakly repelled by a magnetic field and do not retain magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Diamagnetic substances have all their electrons paired and no permanent magnetic moment. This property contrasts with paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.
