The force $\vec{F} = 7\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$ acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. What is the torque of the given force about the origin?

  • A
    $2\hat{i} + 12\hat{j} + 10\hat{k}$
  • B
    $2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}$
  • C
    $2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 10\hat{k}$
  • D
    $10\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$
