Let $a, b$ and $c$ be three non-coplanar vectors and let $p, q$ and $r$ be the vectors defined by $p=\frac{b \times c}{[a b c]}, q=\frac{c \times a}{[a b c]}, r=\frac{a \times b}{[a b c]}$. Then, $(a+b) \cdot p+(b+c) \cdot q+(c+a) \cdot r$ is equal to

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$
