The potential energy function (in $J$) of a particle in a region of space is given as $U = (2x^2 + 3y^3 + 2z)$. Here $x, y$ and $z$ are in meters. The magnitude of the $x$-component of the force (in $N$) acting on the particle at point $P(1, 2, 3) \ m$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
