Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Opposite

Solution :

The correct option is Opposite.

Friction is a resistive force that opposes the relative motion or the tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact.
When an object moves or attempts to move in a particular direction, the frictional force acts at the interface of the contact surfaces in a direction that is directly contrary to the direction of the movement to slow it down or prevent it. Therefore, friction works in the opposite direction of the moving object.
