Respuesta :

A. the moon orbiting Earth

Answer:

The moon orbiting Earth

Explanation:

- The work done is given by:

                            W = integral (F).ds

In words, It is the dot product of Force in the change displacement. In every case the the force is in the direction of displacement.

Except, when the moon is orbiting the earth, the change in displacement is zero. Hence, the work done is zero as ds = 0.
