    A vector ⇒ answer D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    * Lets revise some definition to solve the problem

    - Speed = distance : time

    ∵ Distance has no direction

    ∴ Speed has no direction

    ∴ Speed is a scalar quantity ⇒ (magnitude only)

    - Velocity = displacement : time

    ∵ Displacement has direction

    ∴ Velocity has direction

    ∴ Velocity has magnitude and direction

    ∵ Any vector has magnitude and direction

    ∴ Velocity is a vector quantity

    ∵ Velocity describes both speed (magnitude) and direction

    ∴ Velocity is a vector
