Final answer:

The statement pertaining to displacement in Physics is false because displacement is the same for both persons mentioned in the reference question, as they end up at the same final position regardless of the path taken. The concept of 'checking in' does not correlate with the physics question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presented pertains to the concept of displacement in Physics. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to how far out of place an object is; it is the object's overall change in position.

For the statement "Individuals should formally check in only once at the designated check and location true or false A. True B. False", this is not related to the Physics question about displacement. However, to address the provided reference question:

True or False- A person walks 2 blocks east and 5 blocks north. Another person walks 5 blocks north and then two blocks east. The displacement of the first person will be more than the displacement of the second person. The answer to this is B. False. Displacement is independent of the path taken. Since both persons end up at the same final position regardless of the order of movement, their displacement is the same. Therefore, the displacement of the first person will not be more than the displacement of the second person.
