Correct answer choice is:

B. forefinger in the direction of the lines of force.

Explanation:

The direction of the force - and consequently the transfer of the wire - can be defined by applying Fleming’s left-hand rule.

The forefinger tends to the direction of the magnetic field. The middle finger points in the course of the current. The thumb supplies the direction of force or movement working on the conductor. Fleming's Left Hand Rule is applied in electronic engines which are utilized in coolers, appliances, printers, etc.
