Solution

The correct option is C
Assertion is true but Reason is false.

The explanation for the Assertion statement:
The vectors having the same direction but different magnitude is known as parallel or like vectors.
The explanation for the reason statement:
Vector quantity has magnitude as well as specific direction.
Therefore, the assertion is true but the reason is false.
Hence, option (C) is correct.
