Answer:

(b) Friction increases as the normal force (weight) increases, and also depends on the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of friction relates the normal force between surfaces to the friction force opposing motion. The coefficient depends on the surface.

The appropriate choice is ...

Friction increases as the normal force (weight) increases, and also depends on the surface
