Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is defined as the amount of energy or force required to move an object from its initial position.

For example, a person applies 10 N of force in order to move a wooden box from point A to point B.

This means that the man has done some work in order to move the wooden box.

Mathematically, Work = Force × Distance

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, work = force × distance is the correct equation for calculating work.
