Solution

The correct option is A

Positive, Negative


During compression, the work done by the boy on the ball is positive as it causes the ball to squeeze in direction of force applied. But, at the same time, the ball resists the change in its shape, as it always tries to regain its original shape by opposing the force applied. Therefore, the work done by the ball on the boy is negative.
