A current \( I \) flows around the rectangular loop shown in the accompanying figure. For which of the paths shown is the integral \(\oint \vec{B}\cdot d \vec{l}\) the same?
Hints: Paths A \& C are "linked" to the rectangular loop like smaller key rings on a big key ring. Path B is as if it were a large hula hoop through which the rectangular loop is passing. Path D is like a hula hoop that is dangling off the corner of a table (the rectangular loop being the edge of the table).

Select the correct answer
The integrals around \( A B \) and \( C \) are all the same, but the integral around \( D \) is
different.
The integrals around \( A \) and \( C \) are the same and the integrals around \( B \) and \( D \) are the same.
Only the integrals around \( A \) and \( C \) are the same
The integral is the same around every path.
The integral is different around each path.
A current \ ( I \ ) flows around the rectangular
