Alnico is used for making permanent magnets because it has

  • A. High coercivity and high retentivity
  • B. high coercivity and low retentivity
  • C. low coercivity and low retentivity
  • D. low coercivity and high retentivity

Step-by-step solution

Permanent magnets require materials that are not easily demagnetized (high coercivity) and can retain a strong magnetic field (high retentivity). Alnico is a ferromagnetic alloy with these properties.
