Pressure is a scalar quantity because
(a) It is the ratio of force to area and both force and area are vectors
(b) It is the ratio of the magnitude of the force to area
(c) It is the ratio of the component of the force normal to the area
(d) It does not depend on the size of the area chosen

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(b), (c) Pressure is defined as the ratio of magnitude of component of the force normal to the area and the area under consideration.
As magnitude of component is considered, hence, it will not have any direction. So, Pressure is a scalar quantity.
