Answer:

Place some smooth tiles under the dresser

Smooth surfaces, like smooth tile, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like carpet create much more friction.

remove the drawers from the dresser

Weight affects friction in that friction is directly proportional to the weight of the load one is moving. So reduce the weight, reduce the friction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed does not impact friction, so moving the dresser slower won't help. Wind has nothing to do with the scenario, so that's not a correct option.
