The correct answer is: n2B
Suppose the length of wire is l

Then, for the circle of n turns

The magnetic field, B= μ 0 In 2R , where R is the radius of the circle

Then Bs=μ0 I2R =B......(i)

Here, 2πR=l .......(ii)

Now, if the same wire is turned into a coil of n turns of radius a then,

2πa×n=l .......(iii)

Thus, 2πR=2πa×n

     a=Rn

Now, the magnetic field for the coil of n turns, is

Bn=μ0I2a×n

=μ0I2R×n2   a=Rn

=n2B
