JEE Main 2019 Mathematics question on Vector Algebra

Let a=3i^+2j^+2k^\mathbf{a} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 2\hat{k} and b=i^+2j^−2k^\mathbf{b} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} be two vectors. If a vector perpendicular to both of the vectors a+b\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} and a−b\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b} has the magnitude 12, then one such vector is
  1. A.
    4(2i^+2j^+k^)4(2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k})
  2. B.
    4(2i^−2j^−k^)4(2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})
  3. C.
    4(2i^+2j^−k^)4(2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})
  4. D.
