If a, b, c are non-zero real numbers, then the inverse of the matrix \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&0&0\\ 0&b&0\\ 0&0&c \end{array}} \right]\) is equal to

A. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - 1}}}&0&0\\ 0&{{b^{ - 1}}}&0\\ 0&0&{{c^{ - 1}}} \end{array}} \right]\)
B. \(\frac{1}{{abc}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - 1}}}&0&0\\ 0&{{b^{ - 1}}}&0\\ 0&0&{{c^{ - 1}}} \end{array}} \right]\)
C. \(\frac{1}{{abc}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)
D. \(\frac{1}{{abc}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&0&0\\ 0&b&0\\ 0&0&c \end{array}} \right]\)
Answer» B. \(\frac{1}{{abc}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - 1}}}&0&0\\ 0&{{b^{ - 1}}}&0\\ 0&0&{{c^{ - 1}}} \end{array}} \right]\)
