If $a, b, c$ are the position vectors of three collinear points,then the existence of scalars $x, y, z$ (not all zero) is such that:

  • A
    $xa + yb + zc = 0, x + y + z \neq 0$
  • B
    $xa + yb + zc \neq 0, x + y + z = 0$
  • C
    $xa + yb + zc \neq 0, x + y + z \neq 0$
  • D
    $xa + yb + zc = 0, x + y + z = 0$
