Consider three boxes,each containing $10$ balls labelled $1, 2, \dots, 10$. Suppose one ball is randomly drawn from each of the boxes. Denote by $n_i$ the label of the ball drawn from the $i^{th}$ box,$(i = 1, 2, 3)$. Then,the number of ways in which the balls can be chosen such that $n_1 < n_2 < n_3$ is:

• A
  $120$
• B
  $82$
• C
  $240$
• D
  $164$
