According to my assumptions,the answer closest to the perfection is :
c. they show royalty instead of peasants.
Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left).
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you).
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)
You draw a straight line from the start point to the end point. It doesn't matter what route was actually followed for the trip.
Explanation:
According to the Faraday-Lenz law, a conductive ring generates an induced current due to the change in the magnetic flux caused by the motion of the bar magnet. This induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic field of the bar, generating an upward force that opposes the weight of the bar magnet, Therefore, it does not move as a freely falling object.
