The scenario that accurately describes magnitude and direction is:

A car traveling northward with 5 kN of force could be brought to a stop by a southward force of 5 kN.

This is because the southward force of 5 kN would exactly counteract the northward force of 5 kN, resulting in a net force of zero, which would bring the car to a stop.

The other options either suggest incorrect forces (e.g., 5 kg is a mass, not a force) or do not represent a situation where the forces balance out correctly to stop the car.
