If a loop of wire that is carrying a constant current is placed into a constant

Question

If a loop of wire that is carrying a constant current is placed into a constant magnetic field, why does it tend to rotate?

A) the magnetic field induces a current in the loop that forces the other current to rotate

B) the current around the loop creates a magnetic dipole which tries to line up with the magnetic field

C) the current in the loop tries to cancel out the magnetic field and rotates?

D) current loops done rotate
