Answer: The correct answer is " paired and spinning in opposite direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non ferromagnetic materials are the materials that are non-magnetic. They contain no iron ( ferrous). The electrons are paired in non ferromagnetic materials.

The electrons in a pair spin in opposite direction. Then, the magnetic fields will get cancel each other. There will be no magnetic field exist.

In non-ferromagnetic materials, most of the electrons are paired and spinning in opposite directions.

Ferromagnetic materials are the materials that are magnetic. They are able to create permanent magnets. They contain unpaired electrons.

Therefore, in non-ferromagnetic materials, most of the electrons paired and spinning in opposite direction.

I believe the correct answer would be unpaired and spinning in opposite directions.  The electrons are not aligned or the spins are in a disordered state which gives it zero magnetization. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
