    The correct answer is C.

    W=force into distance.

    Option B states that "balanced forces act on on object and cause movement in direction of these force" which is against the laws of physics.

    Option A is wrong because work is the product of force into distance, its not time.

    Option D says that work is distance over time, which is wrong as:

    speed=distance/time

    So your left with option C
