Explanation:

This question relates to the Work - Energy Theorem in Physics (a subfield of Natural Science). The Work - Energy Theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy, i.e., $W_{net}=\Delta KE = KE_{final}-KE_{initial}$. If the net work $W_{net}$ is positive, then $KE_{final}-KE_{initial}>0$, which means $KE_{final}>KE_{initial}$. So the object's kinetic energy increases.

Answer:

C. increases.
