Solution

A force that acts on an object is said to be conservative if the work it does on the object is independent of the path of the motion. This means that the work done by the force only depends on the initial and final positions of the object, not on the specific path taken between these two points. In other words, the total work done by a conservative force on an object moving from one point to another is the same no matter what path the object takes. Examples of conservative forces include gravitational force and spring force.
