Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
We consider friction as an undesirable force sometimes but not always. For example, we can walk easily on the ground because the ground offers friction. In many situation, like in a machine with different moving parts, friction does have a negative role. It opposes relative motion and thereby dissipates power in the form of heat etc.
