Assume that multiplying a matrix $${G_1}$$ of dimension $$p \times q$$ with another matrix $${G_2}$$ of dimension $$q \times r$$ requires $$pqr$$ scalar multiplications. Computing the product of $$n$$ matrices $${G_1}{G_2}{G_{3...}}{G_n}$$ can be done by parenthesizing in different ways. Define $${G_i}\,\,{G_{i + 1}}$$ as an explicitly computed pair for a given paranthesization if they are directly multiplied. For example, in the matrix multiplication chain $${G_1}{G_2}{G_3}{G_4}{G_5}{G_6}$$ using parenthesization $$\left( {{G_1}\left( {{G_2}{G_3}} \right)} \right)\left( {{G_4}\left( {{G_5}{G_6}} \right)} \right),\,\,{G_2}{G_3}$$ and $${G_5}{G_6}$$ are the only explicitly computed pairs.

Consider a matrix multiplication chain $${F_1}{F_2}{F_3}{F_4}{F_5},$$ where matrices $${F_1},{F_2},{F_3},{F_4}$$ and $${F_5}$$ are of dimensions $$2 \times 25,\,\,25 \times 3,\,\,3 \times 16,\,\,16 \times 1$$ and $$1 \times 1000,$$ respectively. In the parenthesization of $${F_1}{F_2}{F_3}{F_4}{F_5}$$ that minimizes the total number of scalar multiplications, the explicitly computed pairs is/are

A
$${F_1}{F_2}$$ and $${F_3}{F_4}$$ only
B
$${F_2}{F_3}$$ only
C
$${F_3}{F_4}$$ only
D
$${F_1}{F_2}$$ and $${F_4}{F_5}$$ only
