Option 3 : A and D are about distance, B and C are about displacement and E is correct.

Explanation:

  • Distance is a scalar quantity. It is never zero.
  • Displacement is a vector quantity. It can be zero in some cases like for example when the person/thing returns to its initial position.
  • Distance is either equal to or greater than displacement because it is the total length of the path covered by a person/thing. It does not take into account the direction of motion.
