Answer:

c) vector

Step-by-step explanation:

In the science class diagram, what is observed is a vector that is an arrow that indicates the direction of velocity, which has a magnitude of "4.8 m / s".

Vectors are used to represent quantities that in addition to having a numerical value, it is important to know their direction.
