Solution

The correct option is B
It rubs against the ice

Frictional force depends on the weight of the object which is being pushed on the surface. Heavier the object, greater is the frictional force. As both Neha and Sohit are pushing the object on the same floor, Sohit has to apply a greater force as he is pushing a heavier box.
