If $x_0$ is the point of local minima of $f(x) = \bar{a} \cdot (\bar{b} \times \bar{c})$ where $\bar{a} = x \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$,$\bar{b} = -2 \hat{i} + x \hat{j} - \hat{k}$,$\bar{c} = 7 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + x \hat{k}$,then the value of $\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}$ at $x = x_0$ is

  • A
    $-3$
  • B
    $-15$
