Which simple machine is a doorknob?

Answer
A
a lever
B
a screw
C
a pulley
D
a wheel and axle

Explanation

A doorknob is a wheel and axle: the knob acts like the wheel, and the narrow spindle inside the door acts like the axle. Turning the larger knob makes the axle turn and retract the latch. A screw is not the simple machine being described here.
