    Correct Answer
    A. Drill press
    Explanation
    A drill press is a machine tool used for drilling holes in various materials. It consists of a base, a column, a drill head, and a spindle. The drill head is mounted on the column and can be raised or lowered to adjust the height of the drill bit. The spindle holds the drill bit and rotates it to create the hole.
