The answer to your question is B) a2+b2+c2+2abc=1. 
I’ve got it using a bit long method so try to solve it with any better and easier one. I used the concept of family of Planes.What I did is as follows:
The equation of family of planes from P1 and P2 is given as,
-→ -x+cy+bz + L(cx-y+az) = 0
-→ (-1+Lc)x + (c-L)y + (b+La)z = 0   ---(i)
Since P3 also passes through the line of intersection, i.e.P1, P2 and P3 pass through one line,Thus the coeff. of P3 and that of eq (i) are proportional. So,
(-1+Lc)/b = (c-L)/a = (b+La)/-1 = k (say)   ---(ii)
Now, lets start eliminating the assumed constants.
From eq (ii) we get L = (bk+1)/c {= c-ka = -(1+b)/a}--(iii)
From (iii), conclude that k = -(bc+a)/(ab+c)
Putting this value of k in the equation (bk+1)/c = c-ka, we’ll get to our answer which is...
a2+b2+c2+2abc=1
I am sure you’ll be able to find more convenient method for the same. Best wishes.

Try it it with coplanarity conditions
 
So
Determinant of |-1 c b|
                            |c -1 a|  =0
                            |b a -1|
So.  -1(1-a2) -c(-c-ab) +b(ac+b)
          = -1+a2 + c2+abc +abc+b2 = 0
           = a2+b2+c2+2abc = 1
 
 
 
 
Hence proved
