The sled slows down mainly due to friction between the sled and the snow.

Drag due to air resistance is negligible. (Choice 3 incorrect)

Inertia is not a force (Choice 1 incorrect)

No external forces are applied to get the sled going down the hill, it's just gravity (Choice 2 incorrect)

Answer: Choice 4: sled slowing due to friction
