(D) At equilibrium,the initial potential energy of the dipole is $U_{i} = -MB_{H} \cos 0^{\circ} = -MB_{H}$.The final potential energy of the dipole after rotating by $60^{\circ}$ is $U_{f} = -MB_{H} \cos 60^{\circ} = -\frac{MB_{H}}{2}$.The work done $W$ is the change in potential energy: $W = U_{f} - U_{i} = -\frac{MB_{H}}{2} - (-MB_{H}) = \frac{MB_{H}}{2}$.From this,we get $MB_{H} = 2W$.The torque required to keep the magnet in this new position is $\tau = MB_{H} \sin 60^{\circ}$.Substituting $MB_{H} = 2W$,we get $\tau = (2W) \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} W$.
