| Scalar quantities are quantities that have no direction, but only a numerical value (modulus).
Consider all quantities:
a) speed – has a direction, therefore this value is vector;
b) path – has no direction, only a numerical value is enough, therefore this value is scalar;
c) displacement is a vector quantity, since its value depends on the direction;
d) acceleration is a vector quantity, since it has a direction;
e) force is a vector quantity that determines the direction of acceleration.
So the correct answer is b) the way.
