Solution

The correct option is A

Non- zero


The work done by friction depends upon the actual length of the path traversed and it is not zero. It is dissipative in nature, so even in the question above, the displacement is zero but the work done by friction would be non-zero and energy is dissipated as heat into the surroundings.
