Solution

The correct option is C Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true ; Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I.
Vector has both magnitude and direction whereas scalar has only magnitude (no direction).
Since Statement I & II are definitions, they are not linked.
Hence the correct options is C.
