Solution

The correct option is C


A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction, whereas a vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction. Mass has only magnitude.

Force and displacement are the examples of a vector quantity. e.g. , If we apply a force on a body, we can say that we are applying 20N force in horizontal direction, which implies that it has a magnitude as well as direction. You can analyse in a similar manner for displacement too.
