Solution

The correct option is C There is a force on the ball opposing the motion
When the ball rolls on the ground, the ground exerts a friction force on the ball in the opposite direction of its motion. Due to this friction force, the ball retards (gets slowed down) and finally stops after some time covering small distance.
