Answer:(e)

Step-by-step explanation:

If block is raised vertically upward then work done by force F to height h is given by


W_F=F\cdot .h


W_F=Fh

Work done by gravity will be equal and opposite to the work done by force F as object is moving with constant velocity i.e. net force on object is zero.
