Answer: Option a

They are equal and parallel

Explanation:

If a and b have the same direction then necessarily a and b are parallel.

We know that they also have the same magnitude.

Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction.

Then we can say that a and b are equal and we can also say that they are parallel.

Therefore the correct option is the option a
