 The above statement is False.
The displacement of an object can be zero if it travels a certain distance and comes back to its initial position. Its magnitude is always less than or equal to the magnitude of the distance travelled by a particular object as it travels from one point to another.
The correct statement would be that the displacement is less than or equal to the distance travelled by the object.
