A Correct answer
Explanation

Average velocity is displacement divided by time, and displacement is the straight-line distance between initial and final positions. In a complete circular trip, the initial and final positions are the same, so displacement is zero, making average velocity zero. This is different from average speed, which would be non-zero since it's total distance traveled divided by time.
