Answer:

clockwise direction

Explanation:

Direction of induced current is found with the help of Lenz's law . According to this law , the direction of induced current is such that it tries to neutralize or oppose the reason which creates this current .

In the given case , magnetic field is towards the viewer of the screen and it is increasing , so the induced current will have to create magnetic field in opposite to it . It means magnetic field will be created towards the screen into it . So the current will be induced in clockwise direction . This current will create magnetic field into the screen which will oppose increasing magnetic field out of screen .
