Answer (2)

Work is performed in physics when a force acts on an object and causes it to move in the direction of that force. It is essential that both a force is applied and movement occurs to define work correctly. For example, pushing a box involves both aspects, thereby constituting work. ;

Work is performed in physics when a force is applied to an object, causing it to move in the direction of that force. The correct option is A, where both force and movement are essential for work to be defined. Without both factors, the concept of work is not fulfilled.
