@ pranav 
when a current will pass through the spring the magnetic filed will produce since the current pass in same direction in all coil of spring , the magnetic field wil have same direction all coils . 
this causes the spring to reduce its length , 
so, compress ( option 2 ) turns out to be the correct answer .

option B is correct. Because we can treat spring as solenoid  and when current passes through solenoid Magnetic field is produced on the axis of solenoid B = (μNi)/L 
.•. B is inversely proportional to Current .
Hence when current is passed through coil the magnetic field is produced hence length is reduced
 
   I hope it clears concept
