If $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ are unit vectors such that $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = 0$ and the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is $\pi / 3$,then $\vec{a}$ is equal to

  • A
    $2(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})$ only
  • B
    $-2(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})$ only
  • C
    $\pm \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})$
  • D
    $\pm 2(\vec{b} \times \vec{c})$
