In physics, displacement is a physical quantity that is used to describe the overall change in the position of an object/person.
In other words, it describes how far you are from your initial position.

In the given problem, the initial position is the same as the final position. This means that overall change in position is zero, which also means that the difference between the final and initial positions is zero.

Based on the above, the displacement is zero.
