JEE Main 2002 Mathematics question on Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

If 0<α<π20 < \alpha < \dfrac{\pi}{2} is a fixed angle. If P=(cos⁡θ,sin⁡θ)P = (\cos\theta, \sin\theta) and Q=(cos⁡(α−θ),sin⁡(α−θ))Q = (\cos(\alpha - \theta), \sin(\alpha - \theta)), then QQ is obtained from PP by
  1. A.
    clockwise rotation around origin through an angle α\alpha
  2. B.
    anti-clockwise rotation around origin through an angle α\alpha
  3. C.
    reflection in the line through origin with slope tan⁡α\tan\alpha
  4. D.
