Responses

because they represent their direction, but not their magnitude.
because they represent their direction, but not their magnitude.

because they represent a parameter that is neither their magnitude nor direction
because they represent a parameter that is neither their magnitude nor direction

because they represent both their magnitude and direction.
because they represent both their magnitude and direction.

because they represent their magnitude, but not their direction

The correct response is:

because they represent both their magnitude and direction.

Field vectors are depicted by arrows to illustrate not only the direction of the field but also its magnitude, which is represented by the length of the arrow.
