Solution

The correct option is C the top edge to lift up
Current is flowing anticlockwise in the rectangular loop and in the upper edge of page current is flowing towards left and magnetic field is from top to bottom , so by applying Fleming's left hand rule the direction of force is found to be in the upward direction, lifting the top edge up.
