The correct answer is: current is induced in loop clockwise
Mganetic field at the centre of the circular loop increases as it moves towards the current carrying wire as we know it varies inversely with the distance. Therefore, induced current in the loop should be such that it can reduce the increased magnetic field. This is possible only when the induced current is clockwise.
