The correct answer is 'Concentric circles'. 

Key Points

  •  Maxwell's right hand thumb rule: According to Maxwell's right hand thumb rule if we tend to hold a straight current carrying wire in our right hand such that our thumb represents the direction of the current then the curls of our finger would represent the direction of the magnetic field lines. 

                

  • A circular loop of wire can be broken into tiny straight line conductors or one straight line conductor made to join end to end.
  • From Maxwell's right hand thumb rule, the lines of magnetic field due to the current carrying circular loop are concentric circles about the axis of straight wire.
