B)In type I superconductors,the magnetic is expelled from the superconductors below the critical temperature T_c. C)In type II superconductors,the magnetic is expelled from the superconductors below the critical temperature T_c and below a certain field B_c1. D)Superconductors are prefect diamagnetics. E)All the above statements are true.

All the statements provided are true regarding superconductors. A) Both type I and type II superconductors indeed have zero electrical resistance below their critical temperature. B) Type I superconductors expel magnetic fields below the critical temperature, a phenomenon known as the Meissner effect. C) Type II superconductors also expel magnetic fields below their critical temperature and below a certain magnetic field strength, but they can allow magnetic fields to penetrate through quantized vortices above this field strength and below another higher critical field. D) Superconductors are perfect diamagnetics, meaning they can completely expel magnetic fields from their interior, which is also part of the Meissner effect.
