A

1.57 W

B

2.97 W

C

4.45 W

D

9.87 W

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Option B, W=02BIIdxW = \int_{0}^{2} B_{II} \, dx, is correct as it represents the work done in a system where BIIB_{II} signifies a specific force or energy density relevant to the context of the problem. The other options are incorrect because option A lacks the specific context of BIIB_{II}, while options C and D introduce unnecessary constants and exponential functions that do not align with the standard definition of work done in a physical system. Understanding the integral formulation for work, W=FdxW = \int F \, dx, is crucial for applying it correctly in various scenarios, including those involving variable forces or energy densities.
