Solution

The correct option is B Towards you
Using the right-hand thumb rule, we wrap the fingers in the direction of the current in the loop and the thumb gives the direction of the field lines. In the given loop we wrap fingers in an anticlockwise direction and the thumb will point outside the plane of the paper or towards us. Therefore option B is the correct answer.
