Answer:

The correct option is B.

away from each other (they repel)

Step-by-step explanation:

This because when current flows in opposite direction in wire, the electrons in them are at high density or electrons in the wires will be at high density which is as a result of contraction of the length due to relativistic of the length, this make the wires to move away from each other or repel.
