detailed solution

Correct option is A

As the point O is on the line AD, the magnetic field at O due to AD is zero. Similarly, the field at O due to BC is also zero. The field at the centre of a circular current loop is given  by B=μ0i2a . The field due to the circular arc BA will be B1=θ2πμ0i2a.
The right-hand thumb rule shows that the field is coming out of the plane of the figure. The field due to the circular arc DC is B2=θ2πμ0i2b .
Going into the plane of the figure. The resultant field at O is B=B1B2=μ0(ba)4πab
coming out of the plane.
