Correct Option: C

Scalars can undergo all ordinary arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Vectors, however, can only undergo some arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication by a scalar) directly. Other operations, like vector multiplication, require specific rules and result in different types of results (scalar or vector). Thus, the ability to undergo arithmetic operations depends on the desired operation.
