    Answer: D The box moved left 20 meters.

    Explanation:

    Let's start by explaining that a vector is one that has a numerical value along with its units (called a module) and a direction, while a scalar is only determined with a number and its corresponding units, without direction.

    Then, if we are given a quantity with only a numerical value along with its units we will have a scalar, and when we have a quantity with its numerical value along with its units and also the direction is given, we will have a vector.

    So, according to this explanation, the only option that fullfils the conditions of a vector is D:

    The box moved left 20 meters.

    Because we have a numerical value (20) with ist units (meters) and its direction (to the left).
