For real numbers $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$ and $\mu$, consider the matrix

$$ M = \begin{bmatrix} \alpha & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} & \beta & \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \gamma & \delta & \mu \end{bmatrix}. $$

Suppose that $MM^{T} = I$, where $M^{T}$ is the transpose of the matrix $M$, and $I$ is the $3 \times 3$ identity matrix. Let

$$ \vec{u} = \alpha\,\hat{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\hat{j} + \gamma\,\hat{k}, \qquad \vec{v} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{i} + \beta\hat{j} + \delta\hat{k} \qquad \text{and} \qquad \vec{w} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\hat{j} + \mu\hat{k}. $$

Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II and choose the correct option.
