B. Up

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Left Hand Rule, if current points away from you and the field is to the right, the motion will point upward. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Up.

  • The Left Hand Rule, also known as the Fleming's Left Hand Rule, is used to determine the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. According to this rule, if the current flows in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and you point your left hand in the direction of the magnetic field, and your thumb in the direction of the current, then the direction in which your fingers curl represents the direction of the force acting on the conductor.
