Answer 2

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy utilized to move an object from one place to another is known as work done.

For example, when Aditya lifts a book from the floor then an upward force is applied by him on the book due to which book moves away from the floor.

Then he places it on the shelf and the moment he left the book on the shelf work done is completed.
