Answer: Palm

Explanation: When you have a wire, you must point your thumb in the direction in which the electricity is going, and now you close your palm, in the direction in which you closed your hand is in the direction in which points the magnetic field.

Then the correct option is the first one, the palm points in the direction of the magnetic field.
