Solution

The correct option is A 0J
Work done against gravitational force W=mgh
where h is the vertical displacement of the suitcase.
As the boy carries the suitcase on his back and moves on a leveled road, thus displacement of the boy (or the suitcase) in the vertical direction is zero i.e. h=0
W=0J
