 Detailed Solution:As b > a 
 The magnetic field inside the wire (rR) is B = µ? I/ (2πr). 
 For wire with radius a, B increases linearly to r=a, then decreases. For wire with radius b, B increases linearly to r=b, then decreases. Since a⇒ B? > B?
 B? = µ? I / 2πa
 B? = µ? I / 2πb
 (Note: The question is likely asking for the graph representation, which is option A based on the formulas.)
