The correct answer is D. All of the above.
Flat spiral springs are made of uniform thin strips that are wound by applying a torque. The strips are supported at the outer end, and the spring is under tension when it is not compressed. When the spring is compressed, the strips are forced to bend, and this causes the spring to store energy. When the spring is released, the energy is released and the spring returns to its original shape.
Flat spiral springs are used in a variety of applications, including doorstops, suspension systems, and toys. They are also used in some medical devices, such as pacemakers.
