The position vector of a particle moving in a plane is given by $r = a \cos \omega t \hat{i} + b \sin \omega t \hat{j}$, where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$ are the unit vectors along the rectangular axes $X$ and $Y$; $a$, $b$, and $\omega$ are constants, and $t$ is time. The acceleration of the particle is directed along the vector:

  • A
    $-a \hat{i} + b \hat{j}$
  • B
    $b \hat{i} + a \hat{j}$
  • C
    $-r$
  • D
    $\frac{dr}{dt}$
