Solution

The correct option is C

Torque


Option (c) Torque is an axial vector.

Axial vectors are those vectors that represent rotational effect and act along the axis of rotation. Eg: Angular velocity, torque, angular momentum etc are axial vectors. Generally, axial vectors emerge from odd numbers of cross products, and regular vectors from even numbers.
