The general formula to calculate the work is:

where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.
(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so
and
, therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:

(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore
and
. Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:

(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore
and
: this means
.
(d) Work done by the net force:
The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:

And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so
and
and the work done is

Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.
Explanation:
Ok, let's write the definitions:
Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.
Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.
So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:
The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.
But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.
So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.
