The correct answer is static, sliding and rolling friction.

Explanation:

There are three different types of friction. Static, sliding and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Static friction is strongest, followed by sliding friction and then rolling friction, which is the weakest of the three. The equality of these three types of friction is that they produce heat and make movement difficult. The difference is in their magnitude and in the conditions that produce each type of friction. Static is produced when a body at rest begins to move, sliding is produced when this body is already in motion and rolling is produced when a body rolls on a surface, deforming one or both of them.

Have a nice day!
