Solution

The correct option is A Force of friction less than applied force
An object moves only when an external force is applied on it, stops or slows down when the frictional force acts on the object in the opposite direction. The frictional force is the force which resist the relative motion of an object. If both forces are equal, then the object is at rest.
So the correct option is B.
