Speed.
Speed is only concerned with how fast your travel, and not with the direction. (One example for velocity, by contrast, is that you drive 1000 miles east and then 1000 miles west in one day, but your velocity is zero, because you are at the same position, and the same reasoning can be applied to acceleration, as well as force).

A vector is a quantity with both a magnitude and a direction, the definition seems lacking but will suffice for the present question.

Now from the above speed is merely a magnitude, indeed it is the magnitude of velocity, so the answer is 1) speed

Speed is not a vector quantity, it is a scalar quantity.

Speed, because all the other quantities need a direction for their application.
