Solution

The correct option is A magnetic field

An inductor is a wire that is wound into a coil that carries current. This current produces a magnetic field that induces an e.m.f by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This magnetic field supplies electrical energy in the circuit when the supply is cut. Therefore the energy in an inductor, which is characterised by its inductance is in the form of magnetic field.
