A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity(which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a pushor a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Explanation:
Force:
- Force is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
- Magnitude refers to the strength of the force, while direction indicates the path along which the force is acting.
Options:
- Option 'A' states that force has only direction. This is incorrect because force also has magnitude.
- Option 'B' suggests that force has both magnitude and direction absent. This is incorrect as force always has both magnitude and direction.
- Option 'C' correctly states that force has both magnitude and direction.
- Option 'D' claims that force has only magnitude. This is incorrect as force also has a specific direction in which it acts.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C', as force is characterized by both magnitude and direction.

Becoz force acts on a body with some magnitude and pushes it towards a particular direction like backward, forward, right, left
