Solution

The correct option is C Rolling resistance is less in high inflated tire
Rolling resistance is the energy that is lost when the tire is rolling. The main reason for the loss of energy is the constant deformation of the tire. Lower pressure in tyres results in more flexing of sidewalls which increase the deformation and damping thus produces higher rolling resistance.
