Let $\bar{a}$,$\bar{b}$,and $\bar{c}$ be unit vectors. Suppose that $\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b} = \bar{a} \cdot \bar{c} = 0$ and the angle between $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$ is $\frac{\pi}{6}$. Then $\bar{a}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\pm(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$
  • B
    $\pm 2(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$
  • C
    $\pm \frac{1}{2}(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$
  • D
    $\pm 4(\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$
