Solution

The correct option is A
Equal to or less than one

The displacement of the body in given time is always equal to or less than distance covered, because, velocity is displacement per unit time and speed is distance covered per unit time, therefore, ratio of magnitude of velocity and speed is always equal to or less than one.
