In the given figure current from A to B in the straight wire is decreasing. The direction of induced current in the loop is <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/f112cff65aa959e041379f7efe05f7c0-.jpeg" /> (A) clockwise (B) anticlockwise (C) changing (D) nothing can be said

When the current in the wire AB decreases, the magnetic flux linked with the loop (which is out of the page) will decrease. Hence, the current induced in the loop must be anticlockwise to oppose the decrease in magnetic flux
