A. $$\left( {{\text{p}} - 2{\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}} \times {\sigma _{\text{c}}}$$

B. $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}} \times \tau $$

C. $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}} \times {\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$

D. $$\left( {2{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}} \times {\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
