B Correct answer
Explanation

Pressure is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but no specific direction. It is defined as force per unit area (P = F/A) and acts equally in all directions at a point in a fluid. Force, velocity, and acceleration are all vector quantities with both magnitude and direction.
