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 :)

Mendel could have crossed a true breeding (homozygous) brown fly with a true breeding (homozygous) black fly. BBx bb. The resulting offspring would all be Bb (heterozygous). If brown body color is dominant to black body color, all of these heterozygous flies would always be brown. This is because the brown allele is displayed over the black allele.
