The correct answer is: time dependent and downward.
Hint : If current is increasing in upward direction, so magnetic field is increasing in out of plane in order to oppose it induced current will be in clockwise direction


Similarly if current is decreasing in downward direction, so magnetic field is decreasing into the plane in order to support it induced current will be in clockwise direction.
