Solution

The correct option is C If an object starts mowing from point A and comes back to A an a circular path

The displacement is defined as vector quantity and it depends on both the position as well as direction.

In a circular motion when the body comes back to the original position then the displacement of the body is shortest distance between the final and the initial position of object.

So the displacement is zero.
