**Solving Systems of Equations Using the Gauss-Jordan Method**

In this exercise, we explore solving a system of linear equations through the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. Apply this method to find solutions to the following system:

1. \(-10x - 6y - z = -32\)
2. \(-6x - 10y - 2z = -12\)
3. \(8x + 6y + z = 24\)

### Multiple Choice Options:

**A.** This system has exactly one solution. The solution is \(( \, [ \, \, ] \,, \, [ \, \, ] \, )\).  
*(Type an exact answer in simplified form.)*

**B.** This system has infinitely many solutions of the form \(( \, [ \, \, ] \,, \, [ \, \, ] \,, z \, )\), where \(z\) is any real number.  
*(Type expressions using \(z\) as the variable.)*

**C.** This system has no solution.

To find the correct option, one must apply Gauss-Jordan elimination which systematically reduces the system to find solutions or determine the nature of the solutions (unique, infinite, or none). Each choice provides a framework for considering different solution characteristics based on the reduced forms achieved through this method.
