Solution

The correct option is A True
Friction helps to lock the two surfaces in contact.
However, if there was no friction, we would not be able to perform even simple tasks like writing on a paper, or fixing a nail in the wall, stopping or turning an automobile, or even something as simple as tying a lace knot. However, in some cases it is desirable to reduce friction but it can never be eliminated.
