The correct answer is: forward stroke.

A file removes metal during the forward stroke, also known as the "cutting stroke". During this stroke, the file's teeth dig into the metal and remove the material. The return stroke, on the other hand, is the movement of the file back to its starting position, without removing material.

Files are designed to cut in one direction only, and the teeth are angled to facilitate this. The forward stroke is the productive stroke, where the metal is removed, and the return stroke is simply the reset motion to prepare for the next cutting stroke.

So, the correct answer is: forward stroke.

We apply more force during forward stroke as compared to idle or return stroke due to this amount of material removed during forward stroke is considered while the return stroke is neglected.
