Wrench turns winch clockwise

Three students agree that using a longer wrench makes it easier to turn the winch. But they disagree about why.
All three students are talking about the case where the winch is used, over a 10 s time interval, to lift the block
one metre off the ground.
Student 1 By using a longer wrench, the person decreases the average force he must exert on the wrench, in
order to lift the block one metre in 10 s.
Student 2 : Using a longer wrench reduces the work done by the person as he uses the winch to lift the block
1m in 10s.
Student 3 : Using a longer wrench reduces the power that the person must exert to lift the block 1m in 10s.

55. Student 1 is :-
(A) correct, because the torque that the wrench must exert to lift the block doesn't depend on the wrench's
length
(B) correct, because using a longer wrench decreases the torque it must exert on the winch
(C) incorrect, because the torque that the wrench must exert to lift the block doesn't depend on the
wrench's length
(D) Incorrect, because using a longer wrench decreases the torque it must exert on the winch.
