The quantities that are scalar from the provided options are:
- **time and temperature**
- **distance**
Scalars are quantities that are described only by a magnitude and do not have a direction. In contrast:
- **Force** is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
- **Energy** is a scalar quantity.
- **Speed** is a scalar quantity, while **velocity** is a vector quantity because it has direction.
Therefore, the correct answer considering only scalar quantities is "time and temperature" and "distance."
