Answer
Bicycle
Reason — A bicycle is a complex machine because it is made up of many simple machines (gears, levers, pulleys, wheels, and axles) working together to ease travelling but scissors (class I lever), doorknobs (wheel & axle), and bottle openers (class II lever) are examples of simple machines.
