Detailed Solution

A) In the process of lifting a bucket from a well man does positive work, as the force and displacement are in same direction.
B) In the process of lifting a bucket from a well gravitational force does negative work, as the gravitational force and displacement are in opposite directions.
C) Friction does negative work on block sliding down, as the friction and displacement are in opposite directions.
D) Work done by applied force is non-zero due to friction force.
E) Air resistance does negative work on oscillating pendulum as it acts opposite to direction of motion.
