The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0 10^{16}}$
Magnetic field induction at the centre of circular coil,


$\begin{aligned}
& c^2=\frac{1}{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0} \\
& \therefore \quad \mu_0=\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0 c^2} \\
&
\end{aligned}$
So, from Eq. (i), we get
$\begin{aligned}
B & =\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0 c^2} \frac{I}{2 r} \\
& =\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0 \times\left(3 \times 10^8\right)^2} \times \frac{0.9}{2 \times 5 \times 10^{-2}} \\
& =\frac{1 \times 9}{\varepsilon_0 \times 9 \times 10^{16}}=\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0 \times 10^{16}}
\end{aligned}$
