Solution
The correct option is A inclined planes
The grooves of a screw is essentially a rotating and winding inclined plane. Screws are used to fasten two pieces of metal or wood together. Since a screw is a winding inclined plane which is wrapped spirally around a cylinder, it can not be pulled out easily from the fastened pieces, as is not the case with a nail.
