Solution

The correct options are
B Magnetic field can be zero somewhere in the first quadrant
D Magnetic field is non-zero in second quadrant
In first and third quadrants, direction of magnetic field is opposite due to the two wires.
So, magnetic field can be zero only in first and third quadrants not in second and fourth.
