The torque of a force $\overrightarrow{F} = -3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$ acting at the point $\overrightarrow{r} = 7\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ is:

  • A
    $14\hat{i} - 38\hat{j} + 16\hat{k}$
  • B
    $4\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
  • C
    $-14\hat{i} + 38\hat{j} - 16\hat{k}$
  • D
    $-21\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}$
