B. Only the horizontal component of the applied force, multiplied by the distance moved in the same direction, gives the work done — The correct choice is Only the horizontal component of the applied force, multiplied by the distance moved in the same direction, gives the work done. It follows from the relevant Newtonian mechanics, motion, work, energy, power or simple-machine relationship.
