Solution

The correct option is A True
Horse walking or running on the ground is a case of static friction. The horse moves forward but with each step it stops and then has to move again. Thus, it has to apply a constant force to keep moving.
If the ground were frictionless after the push, the horse and the cart would keep moving at the same velocity and would not be able to change the direction.
