Solution

The quantity that is NOT a vector in the context of angular momentum is C. Moment of Inertia (I).

Here's why:

A. Angular momentum (L) is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

B. Angular velocity (ω) is also a vector quantity. It also has both magnitude and direction.

C. Moment of Inertia (I) is a scalar quantity. It only has magnitude and does not have a specific direction.

D. Torque (τ) is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

So, the answer is C. Moment of Inertia (I).
