The correct option is (b) dry friction

To explain: When the two solid surfaces sliding over each other are free from contaminating fluid or film, the resistance encountered is called dry friction.

When the rubbing surfaces are separated from each other by a very thin film of lubricant it is known as boundary lubrication.
