A vector

\mathrm{\vec A}

points vertically upwards and

\mathrm{\vec B}

points upwards North. The vector product

\mathrm{\vec A} \times \mathrm{\;\vec B}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

along West

Option C (along West) is correct because the cross product of a vector pointing upwards and a vector pointing North results in a vector pointing West, according to the right-hand rule.
