Answer : Option D) Fixed-position pulleys are connected to a fixed point and do not move.

Explanation : As the name suggests the moving pulleys move freely whereas the fixed pulleys as per their name is attached to a fixed position and at a fixed point and they can not move freely.

Movable pulleys are ones which has one part of the rope attached to a fixed object, like a bar or a beam. Whereas when both the parts of a rope are attached to a fixed object, this is called as a fixed pulley.
