Susceptibility (\chi)  of a paramagnet is small and positive and of a diamagnet is small and negative. Now relative permeability
\mathrm{\mu_r=1+\chi }
Hence \mathrm{\mu_r }  is slightly greater than unity for a paramagnet and slightly less than unity for a diamagnet. Hence the correct choice is (c).
