The correct answer is A. 250N

Work is a product of force and distance.

That is, work done=force×distance

Therefore substituting for the values in the question:

500J=force×2m

force= 500Nm/2m=250N

another unit for work done is Nm as force as the SI unit of force is newtons and distance in meters
