According to right hand thumb rule, direction of M.F. Is opposite to the given direction so FALSE would be right.

The magnetic field will be CLOCK WISE according to SCREW law.

No, it is counterclockwise in the direction according to the right-hand thumb rule.
If the thumb of the right indicates the flow of current them if we fold our rest of the fingers.
The encircling of the fingers shows the direction of the magnetic field.
