Question

Please draw the diagram for this problem to explain the answer clearly. Please give a detailed explanation of each of the steps in the answer. 

Two very long parallel wires in the xy-plane, a distance 2a apart, are parallel to the y-axis and carry equal currents I as
shown in the figure. The +z direction points perpendicular to the xy-plane out of the page. If the current in one wire
flows in the +y direction and the current in the other wire flows in the opposite direction, which one of the graphs
shown in the figure below could represent the z component of the total magnetic field, while moving along the x-axis?
(Caution: These graphs are not magnetic field lines.)
