The correct answer is v + w = u

According to the triangle law of vector addition: If two vectors represents the two sides of a triangle, taken in the same order, then the third side of the triangle represents thir resultant taken in opposite order.

In the given figure, vectors v and w are in same order and vector u is in opposite order. Hence vector u will be the resultant of v and w.

Therefore, v + w = u
