There are four light-weight-rod samples \(A,\) \(B,\) \(C,\) \(D\) separately suspended by threads. A bar magnet is slowly brought near each sample and the following observations are noted: 
(i) \(A\) is feebly repelled. (ii) \(B\) is feebly attracted.
(iii) \(C\) is strongly attracted. (iv) \(D\) remains unaffected.
 
Which one of the following is true?
1. \(C\) is of a diamagnetic material.
2. \(D\) is of a ferromagnetic material.
3. \(A\) is of a non-magnetic material.
4. \(B\) is of a paramagnetic material.
