Which one of the following forces cannot be expressed in terms of potential energy?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ with initial kinetic energy $K$ approaches the origin from $x = +\infty$. Assume that a conservative force acts on it and its potential energy $V(x)$ is given by $V(x) = \frac{K}{\exp(3x/x_0) + \exp(-3x/x_0)}$, where $x_0 = 1 \ m$. The speed of the particle at $x = 0$ is

When a conservative force does positive work on a body,
