Solution

The correct option is C The force is always perpendicular to velocity of object.
If the velocity and acceleration are not in same direction, work done by force perpendicular to acceleration will not be zero.
b) If the object is at rest no force can do work.
c) If force is perpendicular to velocity work done will be zero.
d) If the point of application of force is fixed relative to ground, the motion will not be due to that force.
