    B. 3J

    Explanation:

    Work done to stress a spring = 1/2Fe ... equation 1

    Where F = force required to stretch the spring, e = extension.

    Where

    F = bx² ... Equation 2

    Given: x = 1 m, b = 6 N/m²

    Substitute into equation 2

    F = 6 (1) ²

    F = 6 N.

    Also substitute the value of F into equation 1

    Work done to stress a spring = 1/2 (6) (1)

    Work done to stress a spring = 6/2

    Work done to stress a spring = 3 J

    Hence the right option is B. 3J
