A force $F = - K(yi + xj)$ (where K is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy-plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the y-axis to the point $(a, a)$. The total work done by the force F on the particles is

  • A

    $ - 2K{a^2}$

  • B

    $2K{a^2}$

  • C

    $ - K{a^2}$

  • D

    $K{a^2}$
