a
repel each other with a force  μ0i2/2πd2
b
attract each other with a force of μ0i2/2πd2
c
repel each other with a force of μ0i2/2πd2
d
attract each other with a force μ0i2/(2πd)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

See fig. So, the two wires will attract each otherwhere l is the length of the wire. Fl=iB=iμ0i2πd=μ0i22πdThe force will be attractive.
