Answer:TRUE

Explanation: Displacement is a change in position of an object or a person starting from where he or she started or where the object was sent from to the final point. If an object or a person returns to the same point as at the point he or she started the person's displacement is ZERO.

Distance is the term used to describe the length covered, it measures from the starting point to the finish line it is a NON ZERO VALUE. Both DISPLACEMENT AND DISTANCE COVERED ARE SCALAR QUANTITIES.
