Solution

The correct option is B $\to a ⊥ \to b$
Let $\to a \times \to b$ is an unit vector,
$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ \to a \times \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ = 1$
$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ \to a ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \to b ∣ ∣ ∣ sin θ = 1$
$\Rightarrow 1 = sin θ$
$\Rightarrow θ = 90^{\circ}$
Hence, $\to a \times \to b$ will also be an unit vector, if $\to a ⊥ \to b$
