Best answer

The correct option is (D) Gadolinium sulphate

When exposed to a strong magnetic field, gadolinium ions align themselves in such a way that the material heats up. However, when the magnetic field is removed, gadolinium ions return to their original random orientation, resulting in the material cooling down. This property, known as the magnetocaloric effect, is utilized in magnetic refrigeration systems to achieve very low temperatures.
