The diagram shows arrows representing two vector quantities. Which diagram shows the resultant R of these two vectors?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

ADiagram A showing R as a diagonal from the common origin of two vectors, forming a parallelogram.

BDiagram B showing R as a diagonal towards the common origin of two vectors, forming a parallelogram.

CDiagram C showing R as a diagonal from the common origin of two vectors (different vector orientation).

DDiagram D showing R as a diagonal from the common origin of two vectors, matching the initial diagram's vector orientation.

✓ Correct answer

D: Diagram D showing R as a diagonal from the common origin of two vectors, matching the initial diagram's vector orientation.
