A highly advanced alien civilization uses a unit of mass called a 'glorp' and a unit of length called a 'blarp'. Their fundamental unit of time is the 'zorp'. They discover a fundamental law of physics relating force (F), mass (m), length (l), and time (t) expressed as , where K is a dimensionless constant. If the dimensions of force in their system are glorp\cdot blarp \cdot zorp^{-2}$, what are the values of a, b, and c?
a = 1, b = 1, c = -2
a = 1, b = 2, c = -2
a = 2, b = 1, c = -3
a = 1, b = 1, c = -1
