Answer: D. They increase the distance over which a force is applied.

Explanation:

Simple machines are basic mechanical devices which make our work easier like lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge and screw. The magnitude of the force or direction is altered using a simple machine. They increase the distance over which a force is applied. They use mechanical advantage to increase the magnitude of the force.
