Solution

The correct option is B Up the incline while ascending as well as descending
While ascending the cylinder tries to pull the ground backwards while moving forward, thus frictional force acts upwards. During descending the frictional force again acts upwards. If friction were absent the body would slide down. Thus the frictional force in this case is responsible for rolling motion of the cylinder
