Answer: A. vector

Step-by-step explanation:

Movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. The body that experiences this change of position is called mobile.

In this sense, the displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position of this mobile, which differentiates it from the trajectory, which is the path followed by the body in its movement and a scalar magnitude.

Hence, the displacement is a vector.
