    Net magnetic dipole moment = 2 Mcos
    θ
    2

    ​As value of cos (θ / 2) is maximum in case (c) hence net magnetic dipole moment is maximum for option (c).

    Correct Option: C

    Net magnetic dipole moment = 2 Mcos
    θ
    2

    ​As value of cos (θ / 2) is maximum in case (c) hence net magnetic dipole moment is maximum for option (c).
