To calculate the work done, we need to use the formula work = force x distance. The force applied is 98 Newtons, and the distance over which the force is applied is 4 meters. However, we need to consider that the box is lifted a distance of 2 meters, so we will use that distance instead.

Work = force x distance
Work = 98 N x 2 m
Work = 196 Joules

Therefore, the correct answer is 196 Joules.
