The problem in the image asks for the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor, where the current flows upward and the magnetic field points from left to right. 

To solve this, we use **Fleming's Left-Hand Rule**, which states that for a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field:
- The **thumb** points in the direction of the force (motion of the conductor).
- The **index finger** points in the direction of the magnetic field.
- The **middle finger** points in the direction of the current.

Given:
- **Magnetic field** is from left to right.
- **Current** is flowing upwards.

Using Fleming's Left-Hand Rule:
1. Point the **index finger** to the right (direction of the magnetic field).
2. Point the **middle finger** upwards (direction of the current).
3. The **thumb** will point **away from you**, indicating the direction of the force.

Therefore, the correct answer is **"Away from you"**.
