Answer:

Incomplete question but the closest ans is

A) The displacement is not zero

Step-by-step explanation:

For work to be done, the direction of force has to be parallel to or in the same direction as the displacement, this can then be calculated by


W=Fs \ cosθ

Where θ is the angle between direction of force and direction of displacement

By this equation,

if Force is zero, W is zero

if displacement is zero, W is zero

if force and displacement are perpendicular θ=90, cosθ = 0

So A is the cloest choices
