Solution
The correct option is B Restoring force
If one end of a spring is kept fixed and its other end is either stretched or compressed, the spring is found to exert a force F at the free end of the spring which is directly proportional to the displacement (i.e., its elongation or compression) and is in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of the free end. This force is called the restoring force.
