    Explanation:

    The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity with which it is moving. It can be given by :

    p=mv

    Mass is a scalar quantity and velocity of an object is a vector quantity. As a result, the momentum of an object is vector quantity.

    Hence, the correct option is (c) “It is a vector quantity because it involves magnitude and direction.”
