Solution

The correct option is A True
Answer is A.

Friction prevents objects from moving or slows them down. It also causes wear on surfaces as they rub against each other and generates heat. Thus energy is wasted in overcoming friction. Hence, the force of friction can slow down an object.
Hence, the statement is true.
