From the Question we are told

If a weight lifter holds a 200 kg barbell in place over his head, he _______

A:does no work because the force he applies does not cause the barbell to move.

B: does work because the barbell is heavy to hold.

Generally the equation for work is mathematically given as

w=f*d

Therefore

For an instance where distance traveled is zero and force exerted is a 1000N  the work done will still be zero because

1000*0 =0

Therefore

does no work because the force he applies does not cause the barbell to move.

Option A
