Solution

The correct option is A closed circular paths.
When there is a change in magnetic flux associated with a large piece of metal then currents are induced in that metal, these currents are travelling in a closed circular path, similar to whirlpools or eddies in water.

Such currents are known as eddy currents.

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
