    C Friction and air resistance

    Explanation:

    The force of friction acts in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of an object in contact with a surface. The amount of friction is proportional to the moving object's weight and a coefficient of friction (which is dependent on the object-surface contact material).

    Air resistance, similar to surface-induced friction, acts as a deceleration force. Its magnitude depends on the object's speed and surface area.
