1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the expression ABAC+BDCD\vec{AB} - \vec{AC} + \vec{BD} - \vec{CD}.

2. Solution Steps

We can rewrite the expression using the properties of vector addition and subtraction.
ABAC+BDCD\vec{AB} - \vec{AC} + \vec{BD} - \vec{CD}
First, we use the property that ABAC=CB\vec{AB} - \vec{AC} = \vec{CB}.
So, ABAC=CB\vec{AB} - \vec{AC} = \vec{CB}.
Then we can rewrite BDCD\vec{BD} - \vec{CD} as BD+DC=BC\vec{BD} + \vec{DC} = \vec{BC}.
ABAC+BDCD=CB+BC\vec{AB} - \vec{AC} + \vec{BD} - \vec{CD} = \vec{CB} + \vec{BC}
Since CB=BC\vec{CB} = -\vec{BC},
CB+BC=BC+BC=0\vec{CB} + \vec{BC} = -\vec{BC} + \vec{BC} = \vec{0}

3. Final Answer

The final answer is D. 0\vec{0}
