The correct response is:
Velocity is a vector quantity that tells the distance an object has traveled over a period of time.
However, it's important to note that while velocity tells about the distance, it additionally includes the direction of the object's motion, making it a vector quantity. It should more accurately be described as "the rate of change of displacement with respect to time", where displacement is the straight-line distance in a specific direction.
