Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
Friction is a opposing force that resists the relative motion between objects. The causes of friction are adhesion, interlocking and plowing effect. Interlocking is due to the irregularities present in the two surfaces in contact. Adhesion is due to the bond formation between two surfaces in contact. Plowing effect takes place due to the deformation of body.
