The correct response to the given question is option c: Throwing sand on an icy driveway.

  • Increasing the force of friction between two contact surfaces entails increasing the surface roughness to inhibit easy mobility.
  • Except for one, all of the examples presented below are examples of lowering friction between interacting surfaces in order to make the surface smoother for better mobility and movement.
  • Using sand to increase friction on an icy driveway is an example of increasing friction with the goal of preventing slipper motion on an icy path.
  • Ice has a particularly slippery texture and surface, posing a risk of slipping and falling for anything moving or walking on it.
  • For this reason, sand is emptied or thrown to the surface to create a bumpy route on the track.
  • As a result, putting sand over an icy path increases friction.
