My answer is (D) but the answer key is (C).

My reasoning is that the net work for (A), (B) and (C) are all zero since the object moves with constant speed so the resultant force is also zero. What is the mistake in my reasoning?

Thanks

Yes, but knowing me, it is better to ask for confirmation here.

Thank you very much kuruman
