Given information

Given a current-carrying wire and a loop is placed nearby and asked the direction of induced current if the wire loop stays fixed as the current I decreases.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
By Lenz's law of electromagnetic induction, the current flows in such a way as to create a magnetic field opposing the change. That is; if the magnetic flux is decreased then the induced emf will oppose this decrease by generating an induced magnetic flux that adds to the original flux or vice versa.
