  • C Equal to direction
  • D 1

Correct answer: D. 1

Explanation: A unit vector has magnitude exactly 1. It only indicates direction.

xya (4,1)b (2,3)a + b (6,4)

Triangle law of vector addition: placing vector b at the head of vector a, the diagonal from the start to the final head gives the resultant a + b.
