Q. The time rate of change of magnetic flux through a circuit induces ......... in circuit.

Electromagnetic Induction

Solution:

Emf, observations indicate that if circuit is open, then opposite charges accumulate on opposite ends of conductor.

When conductor $P Q$ moves downward (in figure) positive charge accumulates at $Q$ and negative charge at $P$. So, emf across $P Q$ is induced. Flow of charge (current) is induced in closed circuit only. Emf is induced in both open and closed circuits.
Here, in this question emf is most appropriate.
