The moment of a force represented by $\overrightarrow{F} = i + 2j + 3k$ about the point $P(2, -1, 1)$ is given by the cross product of the position vector $\overrightarrow{r}$ and the force vector $\overrightarrow{F}$. If the origin is $O(0, 0, 0)$,then $\overrightarrow{r} = 2i - j + k$. Calculate the moment $\overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F}$.

  • A
    $5i - 5j + 5k$
  • B
    $5i + 5j - 5k$
  • C
    $-5i + 5j + 5k$
  • D
    $-5i - 5j + 5k$
