Solution

The correct option is C $(- \frac{3}{2}, 3 \to a \times \to b)$
Given, $\to a + \to b + \to c = \to 0$
$λ = \to a \cdot \to b + \to b \cdot \to c + \to c \cdot \to a$
$\Rightarrow | \to a + \to b + \to c |^{2} = | \to 0 |^{2}$
$\Rightarrow | \to a |^{2} + | \to b |^{2} + | \to c |^{2} + 2 (\to a \cdot \to b + \to b \cdot \to c + \to c \cdot \to a) = 0$
$\Rightarrow λ = - \frac{3}{2}$

Also, $\to d = \to a \times \to b + \to b \times \to c + \to c \times \to a$
$\Rightarrow \to d = \to a \times \to b + \to b \times (- \to a - \to b) + (- \to a - \to b) \times \to a$
$\Rightarrow \to d = \to a \times \to b + \to a \times \to b + \to a \times \to b$
$\Rightarrow \to d = 3 (\to a \times \to b) = 3 \to a \times \to b$
