Correct Answer: Zero


Solution : The correct option is Zero.

The work done by a basic pendulum's string during one complete oscillation is zero. This is because the tension in the string is always perpendicular to the bob's movement. A force's work is equal to its force multiplied by its displacement, and because the force and displacement are always perpendicular, the work done is always zero.
