The position vector of a particle is $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and its momentum is $\vec{p} = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 2\hat{k})$. The angular momentum of this particle is perpendicular to:

  • A
    $X$-axis
  • B
    $Y$-axis
  • C
    $Z$-axis
  • D
    An axis passing through equal angles with all three axes
