please help ASAP magnetism physics

A charged particle is moving through a constant magnetic field. Does the magnetic field do work on the charged particle?

  1. no, because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle
  2.  no, because the magnetic field is conservative
  3. no, because the magnetic field is a vector and work is a scalar quantity
  4. no, because the magnetic force is a velocity-dependent force
  5. yes, because the force is acting as the particle is moving through some distance
