A magnetic field is perpendicular to and pointing out of a closed loop of wire that you can imagine is laying on this page. If I decrease the magnitude of the magnetic field while keeping the direction the same, what is the direction of the induced current in the loop? Othere is no induced current it alternates in both directions around the loop counter clockwise clockwise

Please answer!

A magnetic field is perpendicular to and pointing out of a closed
loop of wire that you can imagine is laying on this page. If I decrease
the magnitude of the magnetic field while keeping the direction the
same, what is the direction of the induced current in the loop?
there is no induced current
it alternates in both directions around the loop
counter clockwise
clockwise
