It is actually are tools that make work easier C because i just had it on study island

Bush · Answer 2

C. are tools that make work easier.

Explanation:Simple machines are tools that make work easier by changing the direction of the applied force or by reducing the amount of input force needed.

Simple machines do not change the amount of energy needed to perform a certain task. For example, when an object is raised, this work can be made easier using a ramp (inclined plane). A ramp reduces the force needed to lift the object, but increases the distance over which the force is applied. So the amount of work, or energy, remains constant.

Simple machines are not made up of multiple moving parts, but they may be combined together to make compound machines.
