Solution

The correct option is B it decreases friction
We sprinkle fine powder (Boric acid powder) while playing carrom board to make sure that the surface is really smooth. Powder reduces the friction between the surface of the carrom board, the striker and the coins. Since the powder reduces friction, the coins and striker can move easily on the carrom board.
