Let $\vec{b} = -\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$ and $\vec{c} = 2\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} - 10\hat{k}$. If $\vec{a}$ is a unit vector and the scalar triple product $[\vec{a} \ \vec{b} \ \vec{c}]$ has the greatest value,then $\vec{a}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} (\sqrt{2} \hat{i} - \hat{j} - \sqrt{2} \hat{k})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} (2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k})$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{59}} (3\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} - \hat{k})$
