Answer: C.

Wire A will have a magnetic field that's greater than wire B.

Explanation: A current carrying wire conductor produces magnetic field around the wire as the wire turns and makes a loop.

if the current carrying wire A has three times as many loops as the current carrying wire B as they both carry the same current, then, Wire A will have a magnetic field that's greater than wire B.
