_____10. What is the primary difference between distance and displacement?
a) Distance considers only the magnitude of movement, while displacement considers both magnitude and direction.
b) Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity.
c) Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the ending point.
d) All of the above.
