[(a)(b)(c)] = a.(bxc)
mod(a) mod(b) mod(c)sin(thetha)cos(alpha)

This value is given equal to
mod(a) mod(b) mod(c)

Hence sin(thetha)cos(alpha) = 1

thetha = pi/2

alpha = zero

hence b.c = 0 ; and a is parallel to the cross product hence perpendicular to b and c .

So option D is the correct answer
