(D) Let the point be $P(1, 2, 3)$ and its image be $P'\left(-\frac{7}{3}, -\frac{4}{3}, -\frac{1}{3}\right)$.The midpoint $M$ of $PP'$ lies on the plane:$M = \left(\frac{1 - \frac{7}{3}}{2}, \frac{2 - \frac{4}{3}}{2}, \frac{3 - \frac{1}{3}}{2}\right) = \left(-\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{3}\right)$.The normal vector $\vec{n}$ to the plane is given by $\vec{PP'} = \left(-\frac{7}{3} - 1, -\frac{4}{3} - 2, -\frac{1}{3} - 3\right) = \left(-\frac{10}{3}, -\frac{10}{3}, -\frac{10}{3}\right)$.We can take the normal vector as $\vec{n} = (1, 1, 1)$.The equation of the plane is $1(x - (-\frac{2}{3})) + 1(y - \frac{1}{3}) + 1(z - \frac{4}{3}) = 0$,which simplifies to $x + y + z = 1$.Checking the options,for $(1, -1, 1)$,we have $1 + (-1) + 1 = 1$. Thus,$(1, -1, 1)$ lies on the plane.

The mirror image of the point $(1, 2, 3)$ in a plane is $\left(-\frac{7}{3}, -\frac{4}{3}, -\frac{1}{3}\right)$. Which of the following points lies on this plane?
