To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
Here, the force applied is 12 newtons and the distance the box was pushed is 4 meters.
Now plug in the values:
\[ \text{Work} = 12 \, \text{N} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 48 \, \text{J} \]
Thus, the work done is 48 joules (J).
The correct response is:
**48 J**
