Solution

The correct option is A True
Friction:
Friction is a type of force that appears when there is a relative motion between two surfaces.
When the two surfaces come in contact and start rubbing and friction force makes this rubbing possible.
Then there is a chance that the rubbing surfaces get damaged over some time. Hence, they will go under wear and tear.
So, the given statement is true.
