If \(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{a - b - c}&{2a}&{2a}\\
{2b}&{b - c - a}&{2b}\\
{2c}&{2c}&{c - a - b}
\end{array}} \right|\) \( = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\,{\left( {x + a + b + c} \right)^2}\) , \(x   \ne 0\) and \(a + b + c \ne 0\), then \(x\) is equal to

  1. A \(abc\)
  2. B \( - 2 \left( {a + b + c} \right)\)
  3. C \( 2 \left( {a + b + c} \right)\)
  4. D \( - \left( {a + b + c} \right)\)
