B.a bus moving north of east at an angle of 95°
C.a boat moving south of west at an angle of 40°
D.a car moving south of west at an angle of 10°

A.
Two positive components means that the vector should lie in the first quadrant and not be parallel to the x or y axis; the only option that satisfies this is A.

The answer is

A. a train moving north of east at an angle of 25°

The explanation:

-The two positive components means that the vector should lie in the first quadrant.

-that means it moving north of east.

-and the motion on a straight path so,not be parallel to the x or y axis.

So, the only option that satisfies this is A.
