You are correct. A scalar quantity only has magnitude and does not have direction. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

You are correct! A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that only has magnitude, meaning it does not have direction associated with it. Magnitude refers to the size or extent of the quantity, like length, mass, time, temperature, or speed. Therefore, option B, "it has magnitude only," correctly describes a scalar quantity.
