An example of a scalar is speed and an example of a vector is velocity.

Distance is also a scalar.

Acceleration and displacement are vectors because they have both magnitude and direction.

The other options do not fit because:

velocity/acceleration = vector/vector

velocity/displacement = vector/vector

distance/speed = scalar/scalar
