Solution

The correct option is C the galvanometer is deflected towards the left.
When a coil of insulated wire is connected to a galvanometer and if a bar magnet with its south pole, towards one face of the coil, is moved quickly towards it, the galvanometer is deflected towards the left. When magnet is moved quickly away from the coil, the galvanometer is deflected towards the right.
The phenomenon involved in this activity is 'Electromagnetic Induction'. The production of electric current by moving a magnet near a fixed coil of wire is called electromagnetic induction.
