5 points

Explanation:

A wedge is a simple machine with a triangular shape, and its main function is to split or push objects apart (e.g., an axe uses a wedge to split wood). A lever is for lifting/moving with a fulcrum, a pulley is for lifting with ropes, and a screw is for holding or lifting via rotation. So the wedge is the correct choice.
