The vector shown in the figure has components on the x axis and on the y axis.
If each small box on the draw represents a unit, it can be seen that the vector has a component of<u> length equal to 1 on the positive y-axis </u>and a length equal to 4 on the positive x-axis.
Look at the attached image
The sum of these two components results in the vector shown in the figure. Therefore the correct option is option A.
