A. \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    \mathbf{a}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{b} & \mathbf{a}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{a}  \\    \mathbf{b}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{b} & \mathbf{b}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{a}  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]
B. \[\left| \,\begin{matrix}    \mathbf{a}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{a} & \mathbf{a}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{b}  \\    \mathbf{b}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{a} & \mathbf{b}\,\,.\,\,\mathbf{b}  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]
