Solution
The correct option is B Straight line
The direction of the magnetic field of every small section of the circular loop can be found by using the right-hand thumb rule. At the centre the cumulative effect of all the field lines due to each small section is a straight line. The direction of the magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil is perpendicular to the plane of the coil i.e. along the axis of the coil.
