Answer:

The correct answer is "The part that is pointing in the direction of motion along a distance".

Step-by-step explanation:

The only part of an applied force that performs work on an object is that which is pointing in the direction of movement along a distance. The work is equal to the applied force multiplied by the distance traveled. By definition, the component of the force that performs work is that which acts in the same direction as the displacement.

Have a nice day!
