The equation of the straight line passing through the point $(a, b, c)$ and parallel to the $z$-axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{x - a}{1} = \frac{y - b}{1} = \frac{z - c}{0}$
  • B
    $\frac{x - a}{0} = \frac{y - b}{1} = \frac{z - c}{1}$
  • C
    $\frac{x - a}{1} = \frac{y - b}{0} = \frac{z - c}{0}$
  • D
    $\frac{x - a}{0} = \frac{y - b}{0} = \frac{z - c}{1}$
