Solution

The correct options are
B sin(αβ)+sin(βγ)+sin(γα)=0
C cos(αβ)+cos(βγ)+cos(γα)=1
Given,
a=cosα+isinα=eiαb=cosβ+isinβ=eiβ
c=cosγ+isinγ=eiγ

and
ab+bc+ca=1ei(αβ)+ei(βγ)+ei(γα)=1cos(αβ)+cos(βγ)+cos(γα)+i[sin(αβ)+sin(βγ)+sin(γα)]=1

Equating real and imaginary parts of both the sides, we get
cos(αβ)+cos(βγ)+cos(γα)=1
and
sin(αβ)+sin(βγ)+sin(γα)=0
