The correct answer is:

A. velocity has direction associated with it while speed has no direction.

Explanation:

  • Speed is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude (how fast an object is moving) and does not have a direction.
  • Velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction (how fast and in which direction the object is moving).
