The correct statement about simple machines is:
Simple machines do not change the amount of work done.
This is because simple machines can change the direction of a force or allow work to be done more easily by reducing the required force, but they do not create energy or increase the total amount of work performed; the work input is equal to the work output, minus any losses due to friction or inefficiency.
