The columns of the matrix do not form a linearly independent set because there are more entries in each vector,, than there are vectors in the set, (Type whole numbers.) O B. The columns of the matrix do not form a linearly independent set because the set contains more vectors, than there are entries in each vector, (Type whole numbers.) O C. Let A be the given matrix. Then the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set since the vector equation, Ax = 0, has only the trivial solution. O D. The columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set because at least one vector in the set is a constant multiple of another.

Question
### Determining Linear Independence of Matrix Columns

#### Problem Statement
Evaluate whether the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set.

\[ 
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & -3 & 3 & 9 \\
2 & 7 & -3 & 6 \\
3 & 12 & 2 & -17
\end{bmatrix}
\]

---

#### Choices
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) within your choice.

1. **A.** The columns of the matrix do not form a linearly independent set because there are more entries in each vector, \_\_\_ , than there are vectors in the set, \_\_\_ .  
   (Type whole numbers.)

2. **B.** The columns of the matrix do not form a linearly independent set because the set contains more vectors, \_\_\_ , than there are entries in each vector, \_\_\_ .  
   (Type whole numbers.)

3. **C.** Let \( A \) be the given matrix. Then the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set since the vector equation \( Ax = 0 \) has only the trivial solution.

4. **D.** The columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set because at least one vector in the set is a constant multiple of another.
