Solution

The correct option is D distance is equal to displacement.
Average speed = $\frac{t o t a l d i s t a n c e}{t o t a l t i m e t a k e n}$

Average velocity = $\frac{t o t a l d i s p l a c e m e n t}{t o t a l t i m e t a k e n}$

Therefore, if average velocity and average speed are equal, then distance has to be equal to the displacement.
