Answer:

C.the direction of the electric current changes

Step-by-step explanation:

when the direction of magnetic filed changes it causes the electromotive force in the system which leads to the generation of induced magnetic field, also electric current and magnetic field are directly proportional so the change in the direction of magnetic field also changes the direction of current which can be easily determine by fleming's left hand rule.
