Answer:

B. Rebecca has not done work because she has not moved a distance.

Explanation:

In physics, work represents the amount of energy necessary for a force to move a body a certain distance.

[tex]W=F.d[/tex], where F is the force, d the distance and W the work of the force F.

Since Rebecca jogs in place, the distance is zero, an so does the work.
