The answer is B. Displacement

Displacement is defined as the straight line distance between any 2 points. Hence, we always consider the initial and final points of an object's motion when calculating displacement. However, for distance we actually trace the entire path the object travelled.

displacement.

Speed is not a vector. Acceleration and velocity can be all over the place between two positions.
