The correct statement is:
It describes displacement, which is a vector quantity.
Displacement refers to the change in position of an object and includes both distance and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this case, the sailboat's position relative to the pier (7 miles to the west) indicates both the distance and the specific direction.
