The correct answer is: 2BπR2L
Initially, the current was zero, so self-induced flux was also zero. Now when we rotate the loop, the change in flux is

Δϕ=2πR2×B

Finally, to maintain the same zero flux, the current in the superconducting loop will be such that the flux due to induced current will negative of the flux due to external field

L×i=2πR2×B.

i=2πR2×BL
