yes it can have zero displacement.

Explanation:

1. Assume a car starts from place A. It travels to place B and returns to A again. Eventhough the car has travelled a certain distance, its displacement is zero.

2. Take a person moving in a circular path. Every time he covers a full circle, his displacement is zero.

Answer 2

Explanation:

For example when an athlete runs on a circular track starting at point A and completes a round and stops at the same point A. The displacement of the athlete will be 0 whereas the distance will be 2πr.
