Solution

The correct option is A For decreasing friction.
Powder is made up of very fine particles.These fine particles when poured onto carrom board , they fill the microscopic grooves on the board and make the surface smooth due to which friction is reduced.
Hence powder is sprinkled on carrom board to reduce friction.
