Solution

The correct option is C


The given expansion can be written as

(1+x)(1+x)(1+x)........(1+x)n− factors

(1+y)(1+y).........(1+y)n− factors

(1+z)(1+z)(1+z).......(1+z)n− factors

There are 3n factors in this product.

To get a term of them of degree r, we choose r factors out of these 3n factors and then

multiply the second terms in each factor. There are 3nCr such terms each having coefficient 1.

Hence, the sum of the coefficients = 3nCr.
