Let $\hat{a}$ be a unit vector perpendicular to the vectors $\overrightarrow{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{c} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}$,and makes an angle of $\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$ with the vector $\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. If $\hat{a}$ makes an angle of $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with the vector $\hat{i} + \alpha\hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:

  • A
    $-\sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{6}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $-\sqrt{6}$
