The vector ` vec a` has the components `2p` and 1 w.r.t. a rectangular Cartesian system. This system is rotated through a certain angle about the origin in the counterclockwise sense. If, with respect to a new system, ` vec a` has components `(p+1)a n d1` , then `p` is equal to
a. `-4` b. `-1//3` c. `1` d. `2`
