The correct answer is: Arbitrary vectors which have the original vector as their resultant
If we slide a vector parallel to its position it will be the same as before. Any vector in an arbitrary direction can always be replaced by two (or three) arbitrary vectors which have the original vector as their resultant. Hence the option 3 is the correct option
