Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
A vector quantity is independent of the choice of coordinate system. The vectors 
themselves do not change when the coordinate axes are changed; only their components change.
is a vector sum, so it is independent of the coordinate system.
depends on the 
-axis chosen.
depends on the orientation of the coordinate axes.
Therefore, and are coordinate-system dependent.
