Answer
A
negative 1 half cap r 3 plus cap r 1 rightarrow cap r 3
B
negative 2 cap r 1 plus cap r 3 rightarrow cap r 3
C
3 cap r 2 rightarrow cap r 3
D
1 half cap r 3 minus 1 rightarrow cap r 3

Explanation

To change row 3 from (2, 7, 8, 25) to (0, 3, 6, 15), subtract twice row 1, (1, 2, 1, 5): (2, 7, 8, 25) − 2(1, 2, 1, 5) = (0, 3, 6, 15). This is the operation −2R1 + R3 → R3, choice B.
