The best choice is the one that calls displacement a vector. So pick:
"Displacement is a vector quality showing total length of an area traveled by a particular object."

Correction: displacement is a vector quantity that represents the change in position (the straight-line from initial to final point, with direction). It is not the total path length (that is distance, a scalar).
