Solution

The correct option is A True
True, A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force you exert by pulling, so you can pull down to move an object up. In this fixed pulley system, you pull down on one side of the rope and the other side goes up. You use the same amount of force to pull down as you would to lift the toy yourself.
