Solution

The correct options are
C
motion

D
force

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, hold the forefinger, middle finger and the thumb of the left hand in mutually perpendicular directions. If the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger, the direction of the current, then the thumb will indicate the direction of the force which results in the motion of the conductor.
