Answer:

If the magnitude of the field is decreasing with time the direction of the induced magnetic field is CLOCKWISE

Step-by-step explanation

This is because If the magnetic field decreases with time, the electric field will be produced in order to oppose the change in line with lenz law. Thus The right hand rule can be applied to find that the direction of electric field is in the clockwise direction.
