$A$ force $\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} \, N$ acts on a particle at a position $\vec{r} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ from the origin. The torque acting on the particle is:

  • A
    $17(\hat{i} - \hat{k})$
  • B
    $17(\hat{i} + \hat{k})$
  • C
    $17(\hat{i} - \hat{j})$
  • D
    $17(\hat{i} + \hat{j})$
