Options
very nearly 2πaiB perpendicular to the plane of the wire
2πaiB in the plane of the wire
πaiB along the magnet
zero

Solution
very nearly `2pi aiB` perpendicular to the plane of the wire
In this case, the north pole of the magnet is coinciding with the centre of the circular loop carrying electric current i. So, the magnetic field lines almost lie on the plane of the ring and the force due to the field lines is perpendicular to the field lines and to the plane of the circular ring.
Let idl be the current element, B be the magnetic field and dF be the force on the current element idl.
Now
`dF = B i dl ⇒ F = ∫_0^(2pia) B i dl`
⇒ `F = 2pi a iB`
Thus, the force acting on the wire is `2pi a iB` and it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire.
