A rectangular loop carrying a current $i$ is situated near a long straight wire such that the wire is parallel to the one of the sides of the loop and is in the plane of the loop. If a steady current $I$ is established in wire as shown in figure, the loop will
  • A
    Rotate about an axis parallel to the wire
  • B
    Move away from the wire or towards right
  • C
    Move towards the wire
  • D
    Remain stationary
