If $(a \cos \theta_i, a \sin \theta_i)$ for $i = 1, 2, 3$ represent the vertices of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$,then:

  • A
    $cos \theta_1 + cos \theta_2 + cos \theta_3 = 0$
  • B
    $sin \theta_1 + sin \theta_2 + sin \theta_3 \neq 0$
  • C
    $tan \theta_1 + tan \theta_2 + tan \theta_3 = 0$
  • D
    $cot \theta_1 + cot \theta_2 + cot \theta_3 = 0$
