Displacement is vector quantity. It is shortest distance between 2 points. Distance is scalar quantity as it is only represented by it magnitude

Force is a vector quantity. F=ma. Acceleration "a" is vector quantity which makes force a vector quantity

Acceleration is vector quantity. It is rate of change of velocity and velocity is a vector quantity.
