Correct Option: A
Subtracting vector B from vector A (A - B) is the same as adding the negative of vector B to vector A (A + (-B)). The question asks about the subtraction of vectors A and B, which is the operation A - B. Since A - B = A + (-B), and the question focuses on what this subtraction is equivalent to in terms of vector B, the answer must relate to the negative of a vector.
