Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mass

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: B. Mass 📚 Explanation: A scalar quantity is one that has only magnitude and no direction. ‘Mass’ fits this definition as it only measures the amount of matter present in an object. Quantities like force, weight, and momentum are all vectors because they have a specific direction in space. Understanding this distinction is fundamental to the study of physics.
