Answer:
D
Solution:

Given: A2,-3,3, B2,2,3 and C-1,1,3 are vertices of a ABC.

AB=2-22+2+32+3-32

AB=5

AC=2+12+-3-12+3-32

AC=9+16

AC=5

Also, AD is the angle bisector of BAC.

ABAC=BDCD

BD=CD

 D is midpoint of BC

So, using mid-point formula,

D2-12,2+12,3+32

D12,32,3

AD=l=2-122+-3-322+(3-3)2

l=322+-922

l=94+814

l=452

l2=452

2l2=45
