Solution

The correct option is D Screw
Screw converts rotational motion to linear motion as it goes inside an object.

As we apply couple force, which in turn produces torque and therefore the cap rotates as well as move linearly.



A bottle cap converts rotational motion to linear motion when we turn the cap to open or to seal the bottle. Hence the bottle cap is a screw.
