The correct answer is: $8A$
Coercivity of bar magnet, $\mathrm{H}=4 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{m}$
Length of solenoid, $\mathrm{L}=12 \mathrm{~cm}=0.12$
Number of turns, $\mathrm{N}=60$ turns
$\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{L}}=\frac{60}{0.12}=500 \mathrm{turn} / \mathrm{m}$
Current, $i=\frac{H}{n}=\frac{4 \times 10^3}{500}=8 \mathrm{~A}$
