Which of the following is desirable for making permanent magnets?

$A$ sample of paramagnetic salt contains $20 \times 10^{24}$ atomic dipoles each of dipole moment $1.5 \times 10^{-23} \ J \ T^{-1}$. The sample is placed under a homogeneous magnetic field of $0.84 \ T$,and cooled to a temperature of $4.2 \ K$. The degree of magnetic saturation achieved is equal to $15 \%$. What is the total dipole moment (approximate) of the sample for a magnetic field of $0.98 \ T$ and a temperature of $2.8 \ K$? (Assume Curie's law).

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Consider a ferromagnetic material:
Assertion $(A)$: The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a magnetic dipole moment and interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves forming domains.
Reason $(R)$: At high enough temperature, the domain structure of a ferromagnetic material disintegrates. Thus, magnetization will disappear at a high enough temperature known as the Curie temperature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
