Explanation of Solution

Scalar:

A quantity which is completely described by the magnitude alone is called as scalar quantity. Here, the work is scalar quantity and not a vector quantity.

The expression for the work is,

  Work(W)=Force(F)Displacement(d)W=Fd

Here, both the force and displacement are vector quantities.

The dot product of two vector quantities will yield a scalar quantity.

Thus, the correct answer is option(d)Work.
