Answer: Distance doesn't specify direction but displacement do.

Explanation:

Distance specifies how far an object has gone, it doesn't specify direction of the object compared to displacement that is distance covered by a body in a specified direction.

Distance is therefore a scalar quantity i.e quantity that specifies only magnitude but no direction but displacement is vector quantity that specifies both magnitude and direction.
