From the work theorem, this is defined as the amount of force applied on an object displaced on a longitudinal unit. Mathematically this is

[tex]W = \vec{F} \times \vec{d}[/tex]

Here,

F = Force vector

d = Displacement vector

Of all the options presented, only in the last one there is no change in distance, so the work done there is zero.

The correct option is 5.
