As we learn

Direction Angles of a Vectors -

Let \alpha, \beta, \gamma be the angles which vector  \vec{r}makes with the positive directions of the x,y, and z-axis.

- wherein

Fig 6

 

 Here \alpha = \frac{\pi }{6}, \beta =\frac{2\pi }{3}, \gamma =\frac{\pi }{2}

\therefore \alpha + \beta + \gamma =\frac{\pi }{6}+\frac{2\pi }{3}+\frac{\pi }{2} = \frac{4\pi }{3}

\therefore option B
