Answer: a.) Roughness of the surfaces in contact with each other .
Higher the roughness of surfaces in contact with each other, greater is the friction between bodies. Force of friction will be less between smooth surfaces.

b.) Weight of the sliding/rolling body: greater the weight of the moving body on the surface, more is the force of friction on the body by the surface.

I hope this helps
