Solution

The correct option is A Anticlockwise
The direction of induced current is as such that in opposes the cause that created it.
By right-hand thumb rule, Direction of flux link will be outward to the plane of paper. As current is decreasing, Outward Flux will decrease so to resist this change, induced current will flow anticlockwise.
