Option(b) is correct because Two vectors have the same direction if they are parallel and point in  the same direction. If one vector is a positive scalar multiple of the other, then the two vectors have exactly the same direction .

Option (a) is incorrect because two vectors of opposite orientation but of equal magnitude cancel out and yield a zero vector.

Option (c) is incorrect because Marshall said that when a pair of vectors are at right angles to each other, the magnitude of their combined force is greater than the magnitude of either the other vector alone.
