Solution

The correct option is A b-a, -a, -b, a-b
ABCDEF is a regular hexagon
$\Rightarrow \to A D = 2 \to B C, \to E D = \to A B, \to F E = \to B C, \to F A = \to D C$
Given $\to A B = a, \to B C = b$
Now $\to A B + \to B C + \to C D = \to A D \Rightarrow a + b + \to C D = 2 \to B C$
$\Rightarrow \to C D = 2 b - (a + b) = b - a \to D E = \to B A = - \to A B = - a, \to E F = \to C B = - \to B C = - b \to F A = \to D C = - \to C D = - (b - a) = a - b$
