Solution

The correct option is B
Unity or less

We have

$\frac{| A v e r a g e v e l o c i t y |}{| A v e r a g e s p e e d |} = \frac{| d i s p l a c e m e n t |}{| d i s t a n c e |} \leq 1$

Since displacement will either be equal or less than distance the above ratio is always less than or equal to 1.
