Solution

The correct option is B

against the force


The work done by a force on a body is equal to the product of the force applied and the distance moved by the body in the direction of force.

If a body displaces in the direction of force applied on it, then we will say work is done by the force.

If a body displaces in the opposite direction of force that is applied on it, then we will say work done is against the force.

If a body displaces perpendicular to the direction of force applied on it, then we will say work done by the force is 0.
