To find the amount of work done, you can use the formula:
Work = force × distance
From the problem, the student used a force of 12 newtons and pushed the box for a distance of 4 meters.
Plugging in these values into the formula:
Work = 12 N × 4 m = 48 J
Therefore, the student did 48 joules (J) of work to move the box.
The correct answer is b) 48 J.
