Answer: Option D


We can use Fleming’s Left Hand Rule to determine the direction of the force on the current carrying wire.


The real reason is due to the combined magnetic fields of the current carrying wire and magnets (as shown in the diagram). The resultant magnetic field creates an uneven magnetic field around the wire. The direction of the force on the wire is in the direction from strong magnetic field towards the weak magnetic field region.
