Momentum is a vector, although we don't hammer on that.  In order to completely describe a momentum, you need a magnitude AND a direction ... just like force and velocity.

So choice #2 is the magnitude of a momentum, without its direction.

Choice #3 is  the full package, with both the magnitude and the direction.

Choice #1 has units of energy, and choice #4 has units of acceleration, so neither of those can be it.

choice 1 is a  possible measurement of the momentum of a moving object?
