I would say, none of them is correct.
Because W= F.d, Here it is read: Work equals Force dot distance. It is a dot product not a cross product.
But for this question, if you have to choose something. Choose W=Fxd.

Hope this helps.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object is displaced by applying a force on it then it is said that certain amount of work has been done.

Therefore, work is the product of force applied and displacement or distance moved by the body.

Mathematically, W = F × d

where W = work

F = force

d = distance
