If the system of equations $a_1 x + b_1 y + c_1 z = 0$,$a_2 x + b_2 y + c_2 z = 0$,and $a_3 x + b_3 y + c_3 z = 0$ has only the trivial solution,then the rank of the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\ a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \\ a_3 & b_3 & c_3 \end{bmatrix}$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $0$
