Solution

The correct option is D
Shears

The instrument shown is called as a Shear. Shears are used in gardening to cut plants, in metal working to cut sheet metal and in fleecing to remove wool from sheep. You can also find a smaller version in the barber shop, where the shears have a comb attachment on one side.

The instrument is similar to a pair of scissors in many cases but usually has a thicker and longer blade. This enables cutting using a strong shearing action.
