Remember the torque equation:
Exerting force on the wrench at an angle less perpendicular to the wrench will reduce 
and thus reduce the torque.
The other answer options will all increase the torque being applied, making the twisting motion easier.
Remember the torque equation:
Exerting force on the wrench at an angle less perpendicular to the wrench will reduce
The other answer options will all increase the torque being applied, making the twisting motion easier.
