Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c) Frictional force.
· The frictional force exerted by air on objects moving through it is known as air resistance or drag.
· This force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object, slowing it down.

· Electrostatic force: A force between charged particles, not related to air resistance.
