Two concentric circular loops,one of radius $R$ and the other of radius $2R$,lie in the $xy$-plane with the origin as their common center,as shown in the figure. The smaller loop carries current $I_1$ in the anti-clockwise direction and the larger loop carries current $I_2$ in the clockwise direction,with $I_2 > 2I_1$. $\vec{B}(x, y)$ denotes the magnetic field at a point $(x, y)$ in the $xy$-plane. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ is perpendicular to the $xy$-plane at any point in the plane.
$(B)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ depends on $x$ and $y$ only through the radial distance $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$.
$(C)$ $|\vec{B}(x, y)|$ is non-zero at all points for $r$.
$(D)$ $\vec{B}(x, y)$ points normally outward from the $xy$-plane for all the points between the two loops.
