It is more difficult to walk on a sandy road than on a concrete road because
sand is soft and concreter is hard
the friction between sand and feet is less than that between concrete and feet
the friction between sand and feet is more than that between concrete and feet
the sand is grainy but concrete is smooth

I think there is less normal force so that our feet immersed in sand and we feel difficult.

I think option C is right since friction stands for the opposition offer in a walk.

When we drag a drum, it has more friction on the surface, while when we roll a drum it has less friction. Hence rolling a drum causes less friction and easy to transport.

Similarly walking on sand causes more resistance ( i.e 1 more friction) on foot, causing difficult to walk. While on concrete there is lesser resistance (i.e 5 less friction compared to that of sand and foot), resulting in an easier way to walk.

In addition as explained earlier by Prashant - When your feet slip, that means there is less frictional force between your feet and the path you walk.

When your feet stick, that means there is a more frictional force between your feet and the path.

So it is difficult to walk if there is a more frictional force and also less frictional force.

Hence I seems option C is correct.

Option C is correct.

Because if there is more friction then it is more difficult to walk than in concrete.
