Solution

The correct option is C $\to 0$
Given $(\to a \times \to c)$ is perpendicular to $(\to a \times (\to b \times \to c)) \Rightarrow (\to a \times (\to b \times \to c)) \cdot (\to a \times \to c) = 0$ $\Rightarrow [(\to a \cdot \to c) \to b - (\to a \cdot \to b) \to c] \cdot (\to a \times \to c) = 0 \Rightarrow (\to a \cdot \to c) [\to b \to a \to c] = 0$ (As $\to a, \to b$ and $\to c$ are non-coplanar vectors.
So, $[\to b \to a \to c] \neq 0$ )
$∴ (\to a \cdot \to c) = 0$

Now, $\to a \times (\to b \times \to c) = (\to a \cdot \to c) \to b - (\to a \cdot \to b) \to c$
$\Rightarrow \to a \times (\to b \times \to c) = - (\to a \cdot \to b) \to c$
$\Rightarrow [\to a \times (\to b \times \to c)] \times \to c = - (\to a \cdot \to b) (\to c \times \to c) = \to 0$
