Hint:Basic properties of paramagnetic substance ferromagnetic and diamagnetic, like in presence of magnetic field, susceptibility and others.

Complete step by step answer:
The distinction between Ferro, para and diamagnetism is as given below

PropertyDiamagnetismParamagnetismFerromagnetism
Effect of magnetsThey are weakly repelled by magnetsThey are weakly attracted by magnetsThey are strongly attracted by magnets
SusceptibilitySmall and negative i.e. $ - 1 \leqslant {X_m} < 0$Small and positive i.e. $0 < {x_m} < E$where E is a small numberVery large and positive ${X_m} > 1000$
Hysteresis effectMagnetic vectors show no hysteresis.Magnetic vector shows no hysteresisMagnetic vector shows hysteresis
In external magnetic fieldIt acquires weak magnetisation in the opposite direction to the magnetising field.It acquires weak magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field.It acquires strong magnetisation in the direction of the magnetising field.
In non-uniform magnetic fieldIt tends to move slowly from the stronger to the weaker parts of the field.It tends to move slowly from weak to the stronger parts of the field.It tends to move quickly from weaker to stronger pails of the field.
Effect of temperatureSusceptibility is independent of temperature Susceptibility varies inversely astemperature ${x_m}\alpha \dfrac{1}{T}$Susceptibility decreases with temperature in a complex manner${x_x}\alpha \dfrac{1}{T}\left( {T > {T_c}} \right)$
Removal of magnetising fieldMagnetisation lasts as long as the magnetic field is appliedAs soon as the field is room, its magnetisation is lostIn it, magnetisation is retained even after the removal of the magnetising field


Note:Remember that diamagnetism arises in a paired electron system which thus results in net zero magnetic moment. While paramagnetism is generally due to unpaired electrons and their domains try to align them in the direction of field applied.
