Solution

The correct option is B relative motion
Friction acts between two surfaces in contact only and opposes the movement of one body with respect to another. Therefore friction is a force which opposes the relative motion between two bodies. If a body is moving it is slowed down by frictional force applied on it by the surface on which it is moving.
