{'distance': [0, 3, 3, 3], 'displacement': [0, 1, 0, 3], 'car': [0, 2, 12, 17], 'denotes': [1, 1, 2, 3]}

In this question, we are given that `d` represents the distance covered by a car in time `t` and `s` represents the displacement by the car during the same time. We need to determine the relationship between `d` and `|s|` (absolute value of `s`).

Option 1: d ≤ |s|

This option suggests that the distance covered by the car is less than or equal to the absolute value of its displacement. However, this might not always be true. The distance covered by the car could be greater than the absolute value of its displacement, especially if the car changes direction or takes a detour.

Option 2: d = |s| only

This option suggests that the distance covered by the car is equal to the absolute value of its displacement. However, this might not always be true. The distance covered by the car could be greater than the absolute value of its displacement, especially if the car changes direction or takes a detour.

Option 3: d ≥ |s|

This is the correct option. It states that the distance covered by the car is greater than or equal to the absolute value of its displacement. This is generally true because the distance covered by the car would include any additional distance traveled due to
