Answer 9

Not really total distance is the correct thing to say!
if you go 4 meter to left and 4 meters to right from origin then you covered actually 8 meters in total.
0 distance traveled if you didn't move at all from the origin (frame of reference)
I believe what they are asking you is the displacements or change in position
