ANSWER: A. 0 Miles
Displacement is change of position from final to initial. Since Maria started at home and ended up at home, her total displacement was 0 miles. If the problem had asked what her distance traveled was, then one would expect it to be the perimeter, which is 12 miles. This is a simple conceptual problem that is very similar to the physics section of the OAT.
