Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of rolling friction, the area of contact is less than in the case of sliding. Due to this, rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

As a body rolls upon another, it experience the resistance to motion which is known as rolling friction.

Sliding friction refers to a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two bodies.
