Solution
The correct options are B decrease linear velocity D increase angular velocity The force of friction must be acting in opposite direction to the velocity of point of contact of sphere. So it decreases the linear velocity.
Also, the torque due to frictional force is in direction of angular velocity, so angular velocity is increased.
