Solution

The correct option is B

Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect


Consider the wheels of a moving car. We know that fluid friction exists between the wheels of the car and air. Also, there is rolling friction between the wheels and the ground. So, a body can experience multiple types of frictional forces at once. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

A ball falling through air will experience friction due to relative motion between the ball (solid) and the air (fluid). So, statement 2 is incorrect.
