Solution

The correct option is C
Angular momentum

A scalar quantity is the one which has only magnitude and no direction.

Angular momentum is given by the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity. It has a direction along the direction of angular velocity. It is described by both magnitude and direction. Hence, it is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity.
