Solution

The correct option is B Vectors cannot be added.
Physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction are called vectors. e.g. force, velocity, displacement etc.

The magnitude of a vector is represented by its length. Vectors can be added. e.g. two forces of 2 N each acting in the same direction add up to 4 N along the same direction.
