Given in the question,

|\vec a| = 3 \: \: and\: \: |\vec b | = \frac{\sqrt 2 }{3}

As given \vec a \times \vec b  is a unit vector, which means,

|\vec a \times \vec b|=1

|\vec a| | \vec b|sin\theta=1

3*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}sin\theta=1

sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}

Hence the angle between two vectors is \frac{\pi}{4}. Correct option is B.
