A. the vehichles have the same speed and velocity
B. the vehicles have the same speed but different velocity.

Answer 1

B. the vehicles have the same speed but different velocity.

The speed of both vehicles is given as 40 miles per hour, but their velocities are different because they are traveling in opposite directions. Velocity includes both speed and direction, so since one vehicle is going north and the other is going south, their velocities are different.
