Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is out of the screen.

As the motion of positive charge is the direction of current in the wire. From the right-hand curl rule, the magnetic field direction will be outside the paper or the screen. As the wire runs left to right and carries a current in the direction from left to right, the magnetic field lines will be outside the screen.
