Solution

The correct option is B $A_{x} + B_{y}$
A vector, its magnitude and the angle between two vectors do not depend on the choice of the orientation of the coordinate axes. So $\to A$ + $\to B$ , | $\to A$ + $\to B$ |, angle between A and $\to B$ are independent of the orientation of the coordinate axes.But the quantity $A_{x} + B_{y}$ depends upon the magnitude of the components along x and y axes, so it will change with change in coordinate axes.
