Answer

We can rank the Amperian loops according to the magnitude of $~~\int~B\cdot ds~~$ around each: $b \gt a \gt d \gt c$

Work Step by Step

$\int~B\cdot ds = \mu_0~i_{enc}$ We can write an expression for the magnitude of $~~\int~B\cdot ds = \mu_0~i_{enc}~~$ for each loop. (a) $\int~B\cdot ds = (\mu_0)~(4~A)$ (b) $\int~B\cdot ds = \vert (\mu_0)~(4~A - 9~A) \vert = (\mu_0)~(5~A)$ (c) $\int~B\cdot ds = (\mu_0)~(4~A - 9~A+5~A) = (\mu_0)~(0)$ (d) $\int~B\cdot ds = \vert (\mu_0)~(4~A - 9~A+5~A-3~A)\vert = (\mu_0)~(3~A)$ We can rank the Amperian loops according to the magnitude of $~~\int~B\cdot ds~~$ around each: $b \gt a \gt d \gt c$
