The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Magnetic force: \[ \vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \]

Step 1:
Direction check
Rod axis and magnetic field both along z-axis: \[ \vec{v} \parallel \vec{B} \Rightarrow \vec{v} \times \vec{B} = 0 \]

Step 2:
Conclusion
No force $\Rightarrow$ no charge separation $\Rightarrow$ no current. Conclusion: zero
