One end of a light spring of force const...

One end of a light spring of force constant k is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is `+(1)/(2)kx^(2)`. The possible case(s) may be

A

the spring was intially compressed by a distance `x` and was finally in its natural length.

B

it was initially strecthed by a distance `x`, and finally was in its natural length.

C

it was initially in its natural length and finally in a compressed position.

D

the spring was initially compressed by a distance `x` and finally stretched by `x`
