  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Force per unit length between two wires: Force on B due to A (): (towards A)Force on B due to C (): (towards C)Since current directions are same, forces are attractive.As :

(Note: Some sources might simplify differently depending on constants).
