It the displacement between two points is zero then they are the same point and so the distance involved in moving between the points can be zero.

Yes it is possible. Any body that travels in any particular closed shape (circle, square, triangle etc.) and returns to the point in which it started would have travelled a certain distance but the sum of its displacement would be nil. Example: A body travels in a 1 mile north, then 1 mile west, then one mile south and finally 1 mile east (ie. a square). The body has travelled a distance of 4 miles. The bodys displacement is 0 miles due to it returning to the point in which it started. You can calculate displacement using vectors. For this example assuming east is positive x and north is positive y: north + west + south + east y -x -y +x = 0

Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.
The bouquet goes from one place to another, from a state of being "still" to moving. It's displacement and velocity does change.
displacement is equal to the distance you traveled when the object is moving at shortest path

On a three dimensional basis yes it can. Fir instance, if an object is moving directly towards or away from you the angular displacement can be zero though the distance displacement changes.

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance.
the object's displacement.

Sure. That's exactly what you do every day when you pull the car out of the garage, drive 15 miles to the office and another 15 miles back home, and park in the same garage.Your car has added 30 miles to its odometer, the engine and tires have another 30 miles of wear on them, you've burned 30 miles worth of gas and pumped 30 miles worth of carbon into the atmosphere, but your displacement for the day is zero.

But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.
The distance is how far the object travels in total, the displacement is how far the object is from its starting position as the crow flys. e.g. if you leave your house and walk 5 miles to the shop and then 5 miles back home again. your distance traveled will be 10 miles but your displacement will be 0.

When an object moves from point A to point B , its displacement is the straight line distance between those points. So, by definition, it is the shortest possible path. The object can certainly travel by a curved path from A to B so its actual distance traveled would be longer then its displacement. This would be true regardless of how much time it takes to travel the paths.
