Solution

The correct option is B sliding friction
Sliding friction is a type of friction that occurs when a body slides over another body. Sliding friction is always less than limiting friction as the contact points on one surface do not get enough time to lock into the other surface while sliding. Examples of sliding friction are skiing, sledging, kid sliding down a slide etc.
