Rolling Friction is less than sliding or static friction because in rolling friction the surface area in contact is least and friction depends on surface area. Hypothetically, for rolling friction the surface of contact is taken as 1 point only. Static friction is when the body impend for motion and sliding friction is when body overcomes the static friction and starts sliding. It is obviously lesser that the static friction.
