The assertion that the magnetic moment of a substance depends on its crystal structure is true because the magnetic ordering of atoms in a crystal structure affects the magnetic moment of the substance. This is because the magnetic moment arises from the spin and orbital angular momentum of the electrons in the atoms, and the crystal structure can influence the arrangement of these electrons. The reasoning provided correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
