A. `14hat(i)-38hat(j)+16hat(k)`
B. `4hat(i)+4hat(j)+6hat(k)`
C. `-14hat(i)+38hat(j)-16hat(k)`
D. `-4hat(i)-17hat(j)+22hat(k)`

Correct Answer - D
(d) Torque of the force, `tau=rxxF`
`tau=|{:(hat(i),hat(j),hat(k)),(8,2,3),(-3,2,1):}|`
`=hat(i)(2-6)-hat(j)(8+9)+hat(k)(16+6)`
`=-4hat(i)-17hat(j)+22hat(k)`
