The correct answer is: net work done by all forces other than conservative forces is equal to change in total mechanical energy
Let work done by all forces other than conservative forces =Wothers

Work done by conservative forces, Wcon is negative of change in potential energy.

Wcon=-ΔU

From work energy theorem,

Wby all forces=ΔK

Wothers+Wcon=ΔK

Wothers-ΔU=ΔK

Wothers=ΔU+ΔK

Therefore work done by all forces other than conservative forces is equal to change in total mechanical energy.
