Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. Force of friction is the force that exists between two contacting surfaces when there's a relative motion or tendency of relative motion between them.
  2. The frictional force depends on two factors:
    a) The materials that are in contact

b) The force pushing the two surfaces together

3. If the fluid is more viscous or thick there will be more friction.

4. As liquids are thicker than air or gases so there is more friction in liquids.

Hence, the statement is true.
