Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
Option B (If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because both statements are true, but the reason doesn't directly explain why sliding is faster than rolling.
