Solution

The correct option is A average velocity is zero but average speed is non-zero.
As the net displacement = 0
Hence, average velocity = 0; but average speed is non-zero as the distance is non-zero

Also,
$\frac{| A v e r a g e v e l o c i t y |}{| A v e r a g e s p e e d |} \leq 1 \Rightarrow | A v . s p e e d | \geq | A v . v e l o c i t y |$
