Answer:
Correct option is
A
The spring was initally compressed by a distance x and was finally in its nautral length
B
It was initially streteched by a distance x and finally was in its natural length
It is given that the work done by the spring force is positive.
Spring force is always towards mean position hence the displacement should also be towards the mean position.
So, the spring has to be in the compressed state first, for both the spring force and the displacement to be in the same direction.
Option A and B.
