Let $a, b, c$ be three non-coplanar vectors such that $r_1 = a - b + c$,$r_2 = b + c - a$,$r_3 = c + a + b$,and $r = 2a - 3b + 4c$. If $r = \lambda_1 r_1 + \lambda_2 r_2 + \lambda_3 r_3$,then:

  • A
    $\lambda_1 = 7$
  • B
    $\lambda_1 + \lambda_3 = 3$
  • C
    $\lambda_3 + \lambda_2 = 2$
  • D
