(B) The statement is False.
Explanation:
$1$. $A$ quantity that is described completely by its magnitude alone is known as a scalar quantity (e.g.,distance,speed,mass).
$2$. $A$ vector quantity requires both magnitude and direction to be completely specified (e.g.,displacement,velocity,force).
$3$. Since the statement defines a scalar quantity as a vector quantity,it is incorrect.
