Answer:

Displacement of Mr. Llama: Option D. 0 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the displacement of an object is equal to the distance between its final position and its initial position. In other words, as long as the initial and final positions of the object stay unchanged, the path that this object took will not affect its displacement.

For Mr. Llama:

  • Final position: Mr. Llama's house;
  • Initial position: Mr. Llama's house.

The distance between the final and initial position of Mr. Llama is equal to zero. As a result, the magnitude of Mr. Llama's displacement in the entire process will also be equal to zero.
