The most appropriate response regarding the effect of using an inclined plane is:

The object can be lifted with less force.

An inclined plane allows an object to be raised with less force than would be required to lift it straight up, allowing for a more gradual elevation. However, the total work done (force multiplied by distance) remains the same when considering the height.
