Evaluate the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct option.
Assertion
Assertion (A): A particle can travel a non-zero distance while its displacement during the same time interval is zero.
Reason
Reason (R): If the final position coincides with the initial position, displacement is zero irrespective of the actual path travelled.
