Solution
The correct option is B
When we hammer the nail into a wood, we hold it at the bottom. The hammer moves about the bottom part of the handle. This part acts as the fixed pivot and the axis around which the hammer moves. The fixed point at which the lever rests is called the fulcrum. Hence, option 'B' correctly illustrates the position of the fulcrum in a hammer while hammering the nail into the wood.
