Solution

The correct option is A Static Friction

When an object begins to move from rest, the frictional force acting on the object is called static friction. This static frictional force has to be overcome by any object to come into motion.

Since the train attains a speed of 100 km/hr it is supported by the rolling friction and not opposed by it. Thus in absence of rolling friction, the train won't move in the first place.
