Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{\to A \cdot \to B}{| \to B |}$
Given, $\to A$ and $\to B$
We know that the projection of $\to A$ along $\to B$ is given by $\to A .^B$ , where $^B$ is the unit vector of $\to B$ .
So, we have
$^B = \frac{\to B}{| \to B |}$
Hence, projection is given by
$\to A .^B = \frac{\to A \cdot \to B}{| \to B |}$
