The correct answer to the question stated above is letter A. Lever.

When the flat end of a screwdriver is used to pry open a paint can, it acts as a lever.
The screwdriver here is used to move or force, to get something open.
The 3 types of lever depends on where the fulcrum and applied force is located.
