The correct answer is (b) Vector subtraction
 
To explain I would say: The formula for relative velocity is, Vector VR = Vector VA – Vector VB. Finding relative velocity is an example of vector subtraction. In fact, finding the relative value for any vector quantity, we need to do vector subtraction.
