Solution

The correct option is C Tweezers
when, the effort is between load and fulcrum it's a third class lever.
i.e. - Sugar tongs.
Third Class Lever
-- the effort is between the load and the fulcrum. An example is a pair of sugar tongs. This is a movement magnifier which means its mechanical advantage is less than one. The load moves more than the effort. (When you use sugar tongs, a small movement of the fingertips makes the jaws of the tongs move a lot.)
