Answer: when the ball moves to the east

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is done when an external force makes an object move in the direction that it was forcing it to by transferring energy to it.

The wind is blowing to the east which means that it is exerting a force that is trying to move the ball to the east. For work to actually occur, the ball needs to move in the direction of the force being applied which is the east.
