Answer Key / Explanation : (d) -

(d)

In compression or extension of a spring work is done against restoring force

In moving a body against gravity work is done against gravitational force of attraction

It means in all three cases potential energy of the system increases

But when the bubble rises in the direction of upthrust force then system works so the potential energy of the system decreases
