Solution

The correct option is B False
Displacement is defined as the shortest distance (or difference) between the initial and final position.
Here, initially the ball is in the thrower's hand and finally it returns to the thrower's hand hence the initial and final position of the ball is same. The total displacement is zero.
The given statement is false.
