If a straight line through the origin bisects the line passing through the given points `(acosalpha,asinalpha)` and `(acosbeta,asinbeta),` then the lines are perpendicular are parallel have an angle between them of `pi/4` none of these

A

are perpendicular

B

are parallel

C

have an angle between them of `pi//4`

D

none of these
