Answer:

D

Explanation:

The vector have equal but opposite horizontal components and their northward components are the same then the magnitude of the vectors A and B are going to be same though their direction will be different. The values of the vector A and B can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem

summing the squares of their components which should yield the values.
