Current on a circular wire

A current carrying infinitely long wire is kept along the diameter of a circular wire loop, without touching it. The correct statement(s) is(are)

(A) The emf induced in the loop is zero if the current is constant.
(B) The emf induced in the loop is finite if the current is constant.
(C) The emf induced in the loop is zero if the current decreases at a steady rate.
(D) The emf induced in the loop is finite if the current decreases at a steady rate.

B and C A and C A and B D

OPTION 1 IS OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW WE PUT WIRE ABOVE DIAMETER THE ABOUT OF FLUX THAT GOES INSIDE THE PLANE IS SAME AS THE AMOUNT OF THE FLUX THAT IS COMING OUT. HENCE THE INCREMENT OR DECREMENT OF THE CURRENT MAKES NO EFFECT ON THE FLUX

USE RIGHT HAND THUMB RULE TO SEE THE DIRECTION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD THAT IS ACTING ON LOOP YOU WILL FIND THAT ONE ONE FIELD IS INSIDE THE PLANE WHILE THE OTHER ONE IS COMING OUT OF THE PLANE

I dont understand how C is correct , please explain .

If you check the direction of magnetic field lines of long wire (in form of Loops) and the area vector of the circular wire loop carefully you can see that they are perpendicular. Hence flux which is B.A=B A (cos90)=0 .Thus change of flux is also zero. So induced emf is also zero.

Why is B wrong? 0 is a finite number.
