A magnetic field is primarily produced **B. When a current runs through a conductor**.
When electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around it. This phenomenon is described by Ampère's law. Additionally, option **D. When electrons move through a circuit** is also related since the flow of electrons constitutes the electric current, leading to the generation of a magnetic field as well.
So, both B and D can be considered correct, but the most direct answer is B.
