Solution

The correct option is A North

According to the right hand rule, point the fingers in the direction of the current (i.e., towards west) and curl them towards the magnetic field (i.e., outward to the plane of paper) and thus, the thumb points in the direction of force, i.e., towards north. Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
