Answer

(a) clockwise

Work Step by Step

Since we are pulling away the bar magnet's north pole, as per Lenz law, induced current will be such that it will oppose this pull i.e. induced current will be such that attraction takes place between north pole and coil. It means that a clockwise current is set up, which will produce south pole near to north pole of bar magnet and cause attraction.
