c. Rolling friction 3. It is the frictional force present when one object moves slowly over the surface of another object.

B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. Static friction is the maximum force present between any two objects when one object just tends to move or slip over the surface of the other object. Sliding friction is the frictional force present when one object moves slowly over the surface of another object. Rolling friction is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface.
