In the context of electromagnetism, if a conductor is held in the right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of the current, then the other fingers will point towards the________.

Correct option is C

The Right-Hand Rule for determining the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor. According to the Right-Hand Rule:
 When the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the conventional current (positive to negative), the curl of the fingers shows the direction of the magnetic field lines that encircle the conductor.
Therefore, the correct option is direction of the magnetic field.
