A. Move the magnet up and down near one of the coils.

Moving the magnet changes the magnetic flux through the coil, inducing an emf and causing current (Faraday’s law of induction). The other choices either break the circuit (B), produce no changing flux if the magnet is just held still (C), or do not change magnetic flux through a coil (D).
