Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Concept of a Moment

A moment in physics refers to the turning effect produced by a force acting at a distance from a pivot point. It is calculated as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force.

Step 2: Analyzing Each Option
  • Option A: The pushing effect of a force describes a linear force, not a moment.
  • Option B: The pulling effect of a force also describes a linear force, not a moment.
  • Option C: The turning effect of a force accurately describes a moment.
  • Option D: The compressing effect of a force describes a force causing compression, not a moment.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{C}}\)
