Solution

The correct option is B Speed multipliers
Class III levers have mechanical advantage less than one, but by using them we get a gain in speed, i.e. a larger movement of the load is obtained by a smaller movement of the effort arm. For example, the blade of a knife moves longer by smaller movement of its handle.
