Solution

The correct option is C antiparallel
We know,
$- - \to A B = \to B - \to A$
$- - \to A B = (4^i + 5^j + 6^k) - (3^i + 4^j + 5^k)$
$- - \to A B =^i +^j +^k$
Similarly,
$- - \to C D = \to D - \to C$
$- - \to C D = (4^i + 6^j) - (7^i + 9^j + 3^k)$
$- - \to C D = - 3^i - 3^j - 3^k$

So we can write, $- - \to C D = - 3 (- - \to A B)$ .
$∴$ Vectors AB and CD are antiparallel
