Solution

(b) the force of friction between the bodies is zero
(d) the bodies may be rough but they don't slip on each other
The contact force exerted by body A on another body B is equal to the normal force between the bodies. Therefore, we can conclude that the force of friction between the bodies is zero or the bodies may be rough but they don't slip on each other.
