Solution

The correct options are
B Maximum static friction is greater than rolling friction.
C Sliding friction is greater than rolling friction.
Static, sliding, and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Maximum static friction is the largest, followed by sliding friction, and then rolling friction, which is the weakest between the same pair of bodies in contact.
