Some elements like iron, cobalt, and holmium make very good natural magnets. Which of the following statements best describes why?

a.Selection rules for multi-electron atoms tend to maximize electron spin and orbital angular momentum. b.Atoms in the crystalline structure of the solid metal tend to antialign their spin and orbital angular momentum. c.Large numbers of paired electron spins are essential to good magnets. d.The filled s shells with high n and paired electrons create larger atomic radii and therefore the electrons can contribute more to the magnetic field.
