The example that represents a class 2 lever is:
**A. Salad tongs picking up salad.**
In a class 2 lever, the load is positioned between the effort and the fulcrum. In the case of salad tongs, when you squeeze the handles (effort), the middle section (where the salad is) acts as the load, with the pivot point (fulcrum) at the hinge of the tongs.
