The correct response is: **It would require infinite work done on the substance.**

Achieving absolute zero (0 Kelvin, or -273.15°C) is theoretically impossible because as you remove energy from a system, it becomes increasingly difficult to extract the last bits of thermal energy. This leads to the conclusion that infinite energy would be required to reach absolute zero.
