## Vector Addition Problem

### Question

Consider the vectors shown:

- Vector **A** points vertically upwards.
- Vector **B** points to the right (horizontally).
- Vector **C** points to the left (horizontally).

### Task

**Which vector represents the sum of vectors C + B?**

### Options

- **A:** A vector pointing to the left.
- **B:** A vector pointing to the right.
- **C:** A vector pointing downwards.
- **D:** A vector pointing diagonally downwards to the right.

### Answer Choices

- A
- B
- D
- None of the choices
- C

### Explanation of Vector Addition

To find the sum of vectors \( C + B \), consider the direction and magnitude of each vector. When adding vectors, align them tip to tail. The resulting vector (or resultant) is drawn from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector.

- **Vector C** points to the left.
- **Vector B** points to the right.

By adding these two, the resultant vector will be determined by the sum of the horizontal components, considering their direction and magnitude.
