A
Show me the Answer
Correct answer is:
  • (A)  The wrench should be pulled toward you
Explanation:
When tightening or loosening a nut or bolt, always face (and pull) the sliding jaw of the wrench in your direction. That way, most of the pressure is now on the fixed jaw, which doesn’t slip. Do not push on a wrench - losing your balance is more likely if the wrench slips.
