Answer:

(c). Friction

Step-by-step explanation:

An object at rest requires a force of 15 newtons to set it into motion. this force is greater than friction force.

Friction force :

Friction is the force which opposes the motion of an object. It depends upon on the contacting surface.

When the applied force is greater than the frictional force then the object starts moving.

C.) Friction.

Reason:
No force is opposing the motion of an object except frictional force. Hence an object requires 15 N of force to set an object in motion and is greater than friction. Hope this helps, have a great day ahead!
