Solution

The correct option is A Moves towards E
When the switch is closed,the current flows through the coil which sets up a magnetic flux ϕ through the ring.The motion of the ring will be such that,by Lenz's law, it opposes the sudden increase in flux linkage.Hence,the ring moves away from the coil or towards E(east).
