For r\leq R

\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_o I _{enc}

\mathrm{B \times 2\pi r=\mu_o \times 0 }

\mathrm{B=0}

 

For \mathrm{r \geq R }\\,

\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_o I_{enc}\\

\mathrm{B \times 2 \pi r=\mu_o i} \\

\\ \mathrm{B=\frac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi r} } \\ \\ B \propto \frac{1}{r}

Hence the correct option is 4
