Answer:
A) Paramagnetic
Explanation:
Water is paramagnetic, which means that it has a slight magnetic moment, because the last two electrons in oxygen's shell are unpaired and each one is in the p_x* and p_y* orbitals. You can measure this in something called a "gouy balance" - same thing w/ O2 gas or O2 liquid. There's a ton of switching around of these electrons , so that's why you only get a very mild, impermanent magnetic moment.
Hope it helps you dude . Have a great day.
