Solution

The correct option is D λ/2
The minima of the sine wave function occurs at 0 and after this, the next minima of the sine wave occurs at π. The wavelength of the sine wave function is 2π i.e. one wave completes its full waveform in period of 2π.
then the particle closest to it having zero displacement is at a distance π and is equal to λ/2
