Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because getting a friend to help will not half the work, and if he does it alone it will not increase the work. Knowing A, and B are wrong, we know it can not be D for the first two options are wrong. Also proof of it being C: if an object moves no distance no work can be done. For example 80 x 0 = 0 The answer being amount of work being done.
