Solution

The correct option is D direction
A vector quantity is one that has both magnitude and direction. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of a body. Mass is a scalar, and velocity is a vector. A vector multiplied by a scalar quantity results in a vector. So, momentum is a vector quantity, and its direction depends on that of the object's velocity.
