Solution

The correct option is B Polished steel < Cardboard < Sandpaper
Polished steel surface is the smoothest among the given surfaces because it has the least irregular surface followed by cardboard and sandpaper respectively. If we try to slide a block with same speed on all these surfaces, the block will move farthest on the polished steel surface because it offers the least friction.
