Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} - \hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = x\hat{i} + \hat{j} + (1 - x)\hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = y\hat{i} + x\hat{j} + (1 + x - y)\hat{k}$. Then the scalar triple product $[\vec{a} \, \vec{b} \, \vec{c}]$ depends on:

  • A
    only $y$
  • B
    only $x$
  • C
    both $x$ and $y$
  • D
    neither $x$ nor $y$
