Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Force of friction is the force that exists between two contacting surfaces when there's a relative motion or tendency of relative motion between them.
  2. Since friction is a resistance force that slows down or prevents motion, it is necessary for many applications where we want to hold items or do things and prevent slipping or sliding while walking.
  3. In those cases, there is an advantage of having friction.

Hence, the given statement is false.
