D

Concept: Work done = dot product of Force and displacement

Weight of object will be downward.

and motion is in horizontal direction.

According to newton's Second law motion

Moving with constant velocity in horizontal means no Net force in Horizontal direction.

Angle between direction of weight force and direction of motion = 90



\(Work= F*d \: cos\theta\)

\(Work= F*d \: cos90^{\circ}\)

Work = 0
