Solution

The correct option is D
forceps

A second-class lever is a type of lever in which the load is between the effort and fulcrum.
In a wheelbarrow, nutcrackers and lemon squeezer load always lie between the effort and fulcrum so these are second-class levers.
Forceps is a third-class lever because in forceps effort lies between the fulcrum and load.
Hence the correct option is (D) Forceps
