Answer:</h2>
d. An object did work on the environment.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;
i. <em>Work is the product of force and displacement</em>. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.
ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, <em>work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment</em>.
In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).
