A body constrained to move along $y-$ axis is subjected to a constant force $\vec F =  - \hat i + 2\hat j + 3\hat k\,N$ The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of $4\, m$ along $y-$ axis is ............... $\mathrm{J}$

Underline the correct alternative :

$(a)$ When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases/decreases/remains unaltered.

$(b)$ Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic/potential energy.

$(c)$ The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force/sum of the internal forces on the system.

$(d)$ In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy/total linear momentum/total energy of the system of two bodies.
