Solution

The correct option is B (x2x1)^i+(y2y1)^j+(z2z1)^k
a line is parallel to any vector of the normal vector of line is parallel to vector
SO normal vector of line passing through the point P1,P2
n=(x2x1)^i+(y2y1)^j+(z2z1)^k
a vector which is parallel to line will
n=(x2x1)^i+(y2y1)^j+(z2z1)^k
