Answer:

D)It reduces the force of friction

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the major use of lubricants (oil) is to reduce frictional forces. This lubricants reduce heat generated on the hinges, by forming a film between the surface of the hinges, thereby reducing the friction in-between the parts and improve performance of the hinges.

Thus, option D, is the correct answer.

D)It reduces the force of friction
