Solution
The correct option is A Eastward
According to Fleming's Left-hand rule, stretch your left hand in such a way that; the middle finger in the direction of current flow (Vertically downward), index finger in the direction of magnetic field ( Northwards). The direction of thumb will show the direction of force acting on the conductor that would be in Eastward direction.
