Verified by Toppr

Correct option is C. The box does not move with a small force
Friction opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. It acts on both surfaces. When some children try to push a box on a rough floor box with a small force, the box does not move because of friction acting in a direction opposite to the push. This friction force arises between two surfaces in contact. It balances the pushing force and therefore the box does not move.
