Solution

The correct option is C $p^{2}$
ABC is a right angled triangle with hypotenuse $A B \Rightarrow ∠ A C B = 90^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow - - \to A C . - - \to C B = 0 \Rightarrow - - \to C A . - - \to C B = 0$
$- - \to A B . - - \to A C + - - \to B C . - - \to B A + - - \to C A . - - \to C B = - - \to A B . - - \to A C + - - \to C B . - - \to A B + 0$
$= - - \to A B . - - \to A C + - - \to A B . - - \to C B = - - \to A B . (- - \to A C + - - \to C B) = - - \to A B . - - \to A B = | - - \to A B |^{2} = P^{2}$
