Which instability results when exceeding the Curie temperature in nickel?

A)Paramagnetic behavior emerges uniformly✓
B)Superconductivity state becomes established
C)Anisotropic strain increases rapidly
D)Crystal lattice defects diminish overall

💡 Explanation

Above nickel's Curie temperature, thermal energy disrupts the alignment of magnetic domains via the Curie-Weiss law, causing random orientations instead of order; therefore, the material becomes paramagnetic, rather than exhibiting superconductivity or increased lattice strain because these require specific conditions.
