Answer:

C -) The friction between an object and air.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frictional force is the force that exists between two surfaces in contact, which is opposed to the movement.

That is, this type of force exists as long as there is physical contact between surfaces.

While the other types of force always act at a separation distance between bodies.
