Answer:

The answer is: C (this goes with other questions too, if the numbers and direction are different it's still the same concept as long as the question is the exact same elsewhere)

There are two types of 'quantities' namely: scalar and vector

A 'vector' is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction whereas a 'scalar' has only magnitude.

Magnitude is a measure or the size of the quantity or object.

In the given example of the vector: '75 mph to the north'

Magnitude is the number 75 mph

Direction is north

Ans C)
