Answer:

Option C, They are decreasing the amount of work done.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ramp helps in reducing the amount of work done to move a heavy object easily.

By using an inclined plane, it becomes easier to move a heavy object with less force to greater heights and hence the net work done also reduces.

Work done is equal to Displacement x force and hence when force reduces, the work done also reduces.

Option C is correct
