Solution

The correct option is C

Specify both its direction and magnitude.


When a batsman hits a ball for six, the speed with which ball crosses the boundary depends on the magnitude of force with which he hits the ball. However, the direction in which the ball crosses the boundary depends on the direction in which he plays the shot. Thus, to describe a force completely, we need to specify both direction and magnitude of the force.
