Answer: Option D) 2,700 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is done when the force is applied in a specific direction. It is measured in joules. Thus, Workdone is the product of force and distance

Workdone = Force X Distance

Force = 90Newton

Distance = 30 metres

Workdone = 90N X 30m

Workdone = 2700 joules

The climber does work of 2,700 joules
