Dear Student,
You are requested to ask 1 doubt at a time. Few of your questions are beyond class 11-12 syllabus such as terms like norm,basis,inner product space and eigen values,positive definite are all taught in Linear Algebra in Engineering. Still I have tried to answer your queries briefly.
Q1. B) Vn(R) has n dimensions. So, V3(R) is a 3 dimensional vector.
Q2. C) A zero vector is 0 in all directions. Hence (0,0,0,0) is correct option.
Q3. B) Any vector having atleast one zero vector is always linearly dependent as you can always form a non zero coefficient set. Eg:- for a vector V=(a,b,c,0,e,f) we can have coefficient set (0,0,0,k,0,0) where k is a non zero. Hence it is linearly  dependent.
Q4. A). The basis has always n elements for Vn.
Q5. A) Inner product space can be imagined as a dot product at basic level.It has entirely different physical significance. Infact dot product is studied under inner product space.Since the vector is O , its magnitude is 0 and <v,w> is always greater than equal to 0. Equality holds iff v=w=0
Q6. A) Norm of a vector is simply equal to its magnitude.
Q7. A)  It is a property of transposition of Matrices (AB)' = A'B'
Q8.C) Again it is studied vastly in Linear Algebra. In M*N matrix, Row Rank <= m     and Column Rank <= n. But it can be proved that both row and column rank are equal . Hence Rank of matrix <= min(m,n).
Q9.D) Again, the proof uses the defination and properties of Eigen values. I can give you the result which says if A is orthogonal,   then all eigenvalues are equal to -1 or 1.
Q10.
