The correct answer is **C. A screw allows the force to be applied in a more convenient direction.**

Screws have threads that allow them to be driven in a way that provides greater grip and holding power, compared to nails. This threads design allows for more control in the direction of the applied force, particularly when tightening or loosening. Additionally, screws can be inserted and removed more easily than nails due to this threaded design.
