The correct answer is: $\vec{B} \times \vec{C}$
From vector produce

$$
\vec{A} \times(\vec{B} \times \vec{C})=(\vec{B} \cdot \vec{C}) \vec{B}-(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}) \vec{C}
$$
Given that $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}=0, \vec{A} \cdot \vec{C}=\mathrm{C}$ then $\vec{A} \times(\vec{B} \times \vec{C})=0$ thus vector $A$ is paralles to $\vec{B} \times \vec{C}$
