Solution

The correct options are
A Its average velocity is zero
B Its displacement is zero
C Its average speed is u2
When it returns to the same point, its net displacement is zero.
Time of flight T=2ug,
Maximum height reached is u22g and total distance travelled is u2g
Average velocity =displacementtime=0
Average speed =distancetime=u2g2ug=u2
