Solution
The correct option is B Clockwise The direction of current in the solenoid is anti-clockwise as seen by observer. On displacing it towards the loop a current in the loop will be induced in a direction so as to oppose the change in the magnetic field caused due to the solenoid. Therefore, the direction of the induced current as observed by the observer will be clockwise.
