Solution

The correct option is A Load / Effort
The factor by which a machine multiplies the force applied (i.e. effort) is called the mechanical advantage of that machine.

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to the effort.

Mechanical advantage (MA) = (𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 (𝐿))/(𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡 (𝐸))
