The correct response is:
**Because they represent both magnitude and direction.**
Field vectors, such as electric and magnetic fields, are depicted by arrows because an arrow can show both the direction of the field and the magnitude, with the length of the arrow typically representing the strength (magnitude) of the field.
**Because they represent both magnitude and direction.**
