Answer

Correct option: C.
$\vec{\text{r}}=\text{a}_1(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{k}}+\text{t}\big(\text{b}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{b}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
Equation of the line passing through the points having position vectors

$\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\text{b}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{b}_3\hat{\text{k}}$ is:

$\vec{r}=\big(\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)+\text{t}\big\{\big(\text{b}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{b}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)-\big(\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)\big\},$ where t is a parameter

$=\big(\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)-\text{t}\big(\text{a}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)+\text{t}\big(\text{b}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{b}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$

$=\text{a}_1(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{i}}+\text{a}_2(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{j}}+\text{a}_3(1-\text{t})\hat{\text{k}}+\text{t}\big(\text{b}_1\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}_2\hat{\text{j}}+\text{b}_3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
