The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Since $BA = B \therefore (BA) B = (B) (B) = B^2$
$\Rightarrow B (AB) = B^2\:\: \Rightarrow BA = B^2$ $[\because AB = A] $
$ \Rightarrow B = B^2 \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, [\because BA = B] $

Matrix:
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:
- Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
- Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication.
- Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal.
- Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
