The answer is A.) decrease.
Take pushing a box for example. You push your hardest but then give out, still trying to push. You're doing less work than what you started with.

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the expression for work

Work = Force x Displacement

So work is directly proportional to force.

Here force is decreasing, so work also decreases.

Option A is the correct answer.
