The correct answer to this question is C. nutcracker. A lever is the type of machine that has a fulcrum. So out of all the choices, a nutcracker is most likely the answer. Another example of a lever includes scissors. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
