because they represent their direction, but not their magnitude.
because arrows represent their magnitude, but not their direction
because arrows represent a parameter that is neither their magnitude nor direction
because arrows represent both their magnitude and direction.

The correct answer is: **because arrows represent both their magnitude and direction.**
Field vectors, such as those for magnetic and electric fields, are depicted by arrows to indicate both the direction in which the field acts and the magnitude of the field, with the length of the arrow typically representing the magnitude.
