A student walks 4 m4\,\text{m} due east from point OO and then 3 m3\,\text{m} due west before stopping. Which of the following correctly states the total distance travelled and the displacement of the student? a) Distance =7 m=7\,\text{m}, Displacement =0 m=0\,\text{m} b) Distance =7 m=7\,\text{m}, Displacement =7 m=7\,\text{m} east c) Distance =7 m=7\,\text{m}, Displacement =1 m=1\,\text{m} east d) Distance =7 m=7\,\text{m}, Displacement =1 m=1\,\text{m} west
