Which statement best defines work? Work is the time it takes to move an object once acted upon by a force. Work occurs when balanced forces act on an object and cause movement in the direction of these forces. Work occurs when a force causes motion of an object, and this motion is in the same direction of the applied force. Work is the distance over time that an object moves once acted on by a force.

Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. This means your answer is C: Work occurs when a force causes motion of an object, and this motion is in the same direction of the applied force.
