(D) The determinant is given by $\Delta = x(yz - 1) - 1(z - 1) + 1(1 - y) = xyz - x - z + 1 - 1 + 1 - y = xyz - (x + y + z) + 2$. Given $\Delta \ge 0$,we have $xyz - (x + y + z) + 2 \ge 0$,which implies $xyz + 2 \ge x + y + z$. By the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean ($AM$-$GM$) inequality,for positive $x, y, z$,$x + y + z \ge 3(xyz)^{1/3}$. However,since $xyz$ can be negative,we consider $t = (xyz)^{1/3}$. The inequality becomes $t^3 + 2 \ge x + y + z$. For the minimum value,we consider the case where $x=y=z=t$. Then $t^3 - 3t + 2 \ge 0$. Factoring the expression,we get $(t - 1)^2(t + 2) \ge 0$. Since $(t - 1)^2 \ge 0$,we must have $t + 2 \ge 0$,so $t \ge -2$. Thus,$xyz = t^3 \ge (-2)^3 = -8$. The least value is $-8$.

The least value of the product $xyz$ for which the determinant $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & y & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & z \end{array} \right|$ is non-negative,is
