Answer:
If the car is moving on straight road
(a) If the car is moving on a straight road
Explanation: In all other cases, displacement can be less than distance.
Displacement is the shortest distance traveled by an object while the distance is the total distance traversed by the object. In the case of linear motion, the displacement of the object is equal to the distance covered.
