    option (a) and (C)

    Explanation:

    The magnetic field strength due to a current carrying wire is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the conductor and the length of the conductor. By the Biot Savart's law, the amount of magnetic field strength produced due to a small length element is given by

    dB = k dl x i / r^2

    Where, dl is the small length element, i be the current and r be the distance from the conductor where the magnetic field strength is to be calculated.

    The larger the current flowing in a wire, the stronger the magnetic field

    is that surrounds the wire.

    That's why, if you want to make an electromagnet stronger, one way to

    do it is to add another battery. By increasing the voltage, you'll increase

    the current flowing in the coils of wire, and the electromagnet will be stronger.
