Correct decreasing order of friction forces is:

Correct option is D

The correct answer is static, sliding, rolling.
· Static friction, sliding friction, and rolling friction resist the motion of stationary, moving, and rolling objects, respectively.
· The frictional coefficient relationships are:
· μRolling<μSliding<μStatic
· Rolling friction offers the least resistance because the contact area and time between surfaces are minimal.
· Static friction is the strongest form of friction, followed by sliding friction, which is weaker than static but stronger than rolling friction.
Thus, Static friction > Sliding friction > Rolling friction.
Information Booster
· Friction: The opposing forces experienced by objects when moving or attempting to move against each other.
· Static Friction (Fs): The resisting force that acts when a body is not moving but is about to move.
· Kinetic Friction or Sliding Friction (Fk): The opposing force that acts when a body is already moving on a surface.
· Rolling Friction: The friction acting on objects when they are rolling over a surface. It is much weaker than static and sliding friction.
