Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that current is the flow of electrons or electric charges.

And when electric current flows through a wire or material then it generates a magnetic field outside the material.

Mathematically, B =
(\mu_(o) I)/(2 \pi r)

where B = magentic field


\mu_(o) = magnetic permeability

r = radial distance

Therefore, we can conclude that a magnetic field is created by a charged particle that is moving.
