The correct answer is:  IL24π A m2

When a wire of length, L bent in the form of a circle of radius, r then the relation between radius and length, by the formula of circumference, 2πr=L

r=L2π, for one number of turns, the formula for the magnetic moment is, 

M=I(A)M=Iπr2=I(π)L2π2=IL24π $\mathrm{Am}^{2}$
