Solution

The correct option is C Momentum
  • Energy, Presssure and Work are scalar quantities because only magnitude is required to describe them.
  • From P=mv, direction of momentum will be same as direction of velocity.
  • Therefore momentum has both magnitude and direction. Hence momentum is a vector quantity.
Option C is correct.
