The answer is A, friction.

Friction is the force that resists movement, and that's why oil is used as a lubricant and why ball bearings are used for machines that need to move with very little friction(i.e. bike wheels, roller skates, fidget spinners)

Answer B is too vague
C will probably reduce efficiency greatly, but not specifically in a way that turns work into thermal energy.
D is the same as C, except that it places the blame on the person using the machine, not the machine itself.


Hope I helped clear it up for you :)

________ attach skeletal muscles to bones, and ________ connect one bone to another
Kay [80]

Answer: B. Tendons; ligaments

Explanation: Tendons are white, inelastic and tough connective tissue that attach skeletal muscle to bone. Tendons attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. Fibres in tendons are arranged as compact parallel bundles.

A ligament is a yellow, elastic and strong fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone. Ligaments usually hold bones together and keep them stable. Fibres of the ligament are compactly packed and but they are not arranged in parallel bundles as that of tendons.
