Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

While speed is (Distance/time), Velocity is (Displacement/time). Very similar, but still different. Displacement gives a direction, which is what makes velocity set apart from speed.

For example: you may go 30 miles per hour with speed, but with velocity, you go 30 mph to the north ( or wherever direction you want). Hope this helps
