Answer: Option d

They are opposites and parallel.

Explanation:

Although they have the same magnitude, one can not say that a and b are equal because they have opposite directions.

If we know that both vectors have opposite directions then necessarily a and b must be parallel.

So what we know about a and b is that they are parallel and opposite.

The correct answer is the option d
