Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us define:
x=a3,y=b3,z=c3x = \sqrt[3]{a}, \quad y = \sqrt[3]{b}, \quad z = \sqrt[3]{c}
According to the problem, we are given:
x+y+z=0x + y + z = 0
Recall the standard algebraic identity: if the sum of three variables is zero (x+y+z=0\displaystyle x + y + z = 0), then the sum of their cubes is equal to three times their product:
x3+y3+z3=3xyzx^3 + y^3 + z^3 = 3xyz
Substitute the definitions of x,y,z\displaystyle x, y, z back into this identity:

This matches **Option A**.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
