Lenz's Law: a Closed, Circular Loop Has a Counter-Clockwise Current

Lenz's law: A closed, circular loop has a counter-clockwise current flowing through it as viewed by a person on the right, as shown in the figure. If a second closed circular loop with the same radius approaches this loop with constant velocity along a common axis as shown, in what direction will a current flow in the approaching loop as viewed by the person on the right?

A) clockwise
B) counter-clockwise
C) No current will be induced because the velocity of approach is constant.
