Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} -1 & -2 & -3 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$, $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $C=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. If $a, b$ and $c$ respectively denote the ranks of $A, B$ and $C$, then the correct order of these numbers is:

  • A
    $a < b < c$
  • B
    $c < b < a$
  • C
    $b < a < c$
  • D
    $a < c < b$
