Answer: B. 2R

Correct Answer: B) 2R

Explanation: In 2 minutes and 20 seconds (140 seconds), the athlete completes 3.5 rounds. After 3 full rounds, the athlete is back at the starting point (displacement = 0). The remaining half-round leaves the athlete at the diametrically opposite point, making the displacement equal to the diameter of the circular track (2R).
