(A) Given $\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\vec{0}$ and $|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=|\vec{c}|=1$.Squaring both sides: $(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) \cdot (\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) = 0$.$|\vec{a}|^2+|\vec{b}|^2+|\vec{c}|^2+2(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}) = 0$.$1+1+1+2\lambda = 0 \Rightarrow 3+2\lambda = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = -\frac{3}{2}$.Now,$\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}=\vec{0} \Rightarrow \vec{a}+\vec{b}=-\vec{c}$.Taking cross product with $\vec{a}$: $\vec{a} 	imes (\vec{a}+\vec{b}) = \vec{a} 	imes (-\vec{c}) \Rightarrow \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} = \vec{c} 	imes \vec{a}$.Similarly,taking cross product with $\vec{b}$: $(\vec{a}+\vec{b}) 	imes \vec{b} = (-\vec{c}) 	imes \vec{b} \Rightarrow \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} = \vec{b} 	imes \vec{c}$.Thus,$\vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} = \vec{b} 	imes \vec{c} = \vec{c} 	imes \vec{a}$.Therefore,$\vec{d} = \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} + \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} + \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b} = 3(\vec{a} 	imes \vec{b})$.The ordered pair is $\left(-\frac{3}{2}, 3 \vec{a} 	imes \vec{b}ight)$.
