Solution

The correct option is B reduced friction
The surface of the banana peel is so smooth that it is nearly a frictionless surface whose coefficient of friction is very less, and the frictional force applied is less too. So, when we step on the banana peel, our feet don't stop and slips forward, making us fall.
