If $A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 \alpha & \cos \alpha \sin \alpha \\ \cos \alpha \sin \alpha & \sin^2 \alpha \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 \beta & \cos \beta \sin \beta \\ \cos \beta \sin \beta & \sin^2 \beta \end{bmatrix}$ are two matrices such that the product $AB$ is a null matrix,then $\alpha - \beta$ is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    multiple of $\pi$
  • C
    an odd multiple of $\pi / 2$
  • D
    None of the above
