• B. A polar vector
• C. An axial vector
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

An axial vector

Explanation for the correct option(s):

C: An axial vector

• Angular momentum is associated with rotational motion about an axis.
• Therefore, Angular momentum is an axial vector.

Explanation for the incorrect option(s):

A: A scalar.

• Angular momentum is a vector quantity.

B: A polar vector.

• Angular momentum rotate about the axis of rotation.
• Thus, Angular momentum is an axial vector.
