Answer:

a pneumatic power system similar to one used in a jackhammer

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a hydraulic system. A hydraulic system allows fluids to distribute force evenly. Since fluids distribute force and pressure equally throughout a system, they can be connected through pipes and regulated by valves to increase volume and pressure in the system. This allows the fluid flow to magnify the initial force or power in the system.
