The question asks which of the following best represents the sum of vectors $\vec{A}$ (blue) and $\vec{B}$ (green), showing three choices.

Analysis:

1. Vector $\vec{A}$: Blue, pointing diagonally downward to the right.
2. Vector $\vec{B}$: Green, pointing straight upward.
3. Vector Addition $\vec{A} + \vec{B}$: To add vectors graphically, place the tail of vector $\vec{B}$ at the head of vector $\vec{A}$. The resultant vector will go from the tail of $\vec{A}$ to the head of $\vec{B}$.

The resultant vector should reflect both the direction and magnitude of these two combined.

Observing the answer choices:

• Option A: Points diagonally upward to the left, which doesn't match the expected direction.
• Option B: Points straight to the right. This doesn't account for the upward direction contributed by vector $\vec{B}$.
• Option C: Points downward, which is also inconsistent with the expected upward influence of $\vec{B}$.

None of the provided options seem to perfectly match the correct resultant vector. However, based on this diagram, Option B seems the closest, representing the horizontal component of the resultant vector, as the upward component may not be visible in the 2D depiction.
