Options
there is a constant current in the clockwise direction in A.
there is a varying current in A.
there is no current in A.
there is a constant current in the counterclockwise direction in A.

Solution
There are two coils A and B as shown in figure. A current starts flowing in B as shown, when A is moved towards B and stops when A stops moving. The current in A is counterclockwise. B is kept stationary when A moves. We can infer that there is a constant current in the counterclockwise direction in A.
Explanation:
Due to variation in the flux linked with coil B an emf will be induced in coil B. Current in coil B becomes zero when coil A stops moving, it is possible only if the current in coil A is constant. If the current in coil A would be variable, there must be some changing flux and then there must be an induced emf. Hence an induced current will be in coil B even when coil A is not moving.
