Solution

The correct option is D Fleming's right hand rule
We can use Fleming's Right-Hand rule to determine the direction of the induced current in a generator.

According to this rule, when the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are stretched perpendicular to each other if the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb denotes the direction of motion of the conductor, then the middle finger will represent the direction of the induced current.
