Answer

The statement does not make sense.

Work Step by Step

The vector quantity represents magnitude as well as direction. The man’s height is a scalar quantity because the man’s height does not have any direction; it has only magnitude. A vector does not represent the average yearly rate of change in a man’s height. Thus, the statement is false.
