(C)Correct
(D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
Take the cross product of with : . By the vector triple product, $Missing argument for \overline\overline A×(Missing argument for \overline\overline A×Missing argument for \overline\overline X)=(Missing argument for \overline\overline A·Missing argument for \overline\overline X)Missing argument for \overline\overline A-(Missing argument for \overline\overline A·Missing argument for \overline\overline
