Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vectors are in the same west-east direction, so we can assume that the positive direction is east and perform the algebraic sum.

       R = δ + ε

where

       δ = 2.0 m

       ε = 7.0 m

the positive sign indicates that it is heading east

        R = 2.0 + 7.0

        R = 9.0 m

the direction is east

the correct answer is D
