The three-gamma matrix is antisymmetric, and for three distinct indices it is nonzero. A pair of nonzero Grassmann components therefore produces a nonzero term exactly as in the scalar case. Consequently this three-form bilinear is not identically zero. Equivalently it is dual to the axial-vector Majorana spinor bilinear, which is allowed; it must not be confused with the vanishing vector in part (a).
