If you wanted to move a heavy cart across a rough surface, which of the following changes would make it easier to move?

Answer: C. Make the wheel bigger and keep the axle the same

A larger wheel increases the mechanical advantage of the wheel-and-axle system. Additionally, larger wheels handle rough surfaces better because they can more easily roll over bumps and dips that might trap smaller wheels.
