The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The vector field \( \vec{v} \) is given in terms of its components along the \( \hat{i} \), \( \hat{j} \), and \( \hat{k} \) directions. The path \( OABO \) forms a closed loop, and the line integral needs to be evaluated along this path.

Key Observations:

  • The path \( AB \) is a circle with a unit radius.
  • The components of the vector field depend on \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \).
  • The integration will involve parametric equations representing the motion of the circle in 3D space.

Solution:

By applying the line integral along the closed loop \( OABO \) and performing the necessary calculations, the result is:

\[ \frac{1}{4} (3\pi - 1) \]

Conclusion:

Thus, the correct answer is (A).
