There is also friction in the concrete road that's the reason we are able to walk. But in the sandy road, we usually press our feet hard on it to walk since we don't actually get a good grip.
This is because the friction between the sand and feet is less.
Hope I made it clear!

B is correct as the friction between sand and feet is less so its correct.

C is correct because more friction = less speed.

C is correct answer as in sand we have more contact area and more friction as compare to concrete road.

Friction is inversely proportional to speed. Hence the answer should be 'c'.

Correct option is B. C given reverse which is incorrect.

Since concrete road is more leveled than that of sand, the contact area is more with the feet so that friction will be more. So can walk easily on concrete.

It is all about of friction. There is less friction between sand and feet by that the more time is needed to walk on sand so by that the magnitude of force get decrease so it difficult to walk on sand.

Friction is required for walking, and friction between foot and sand is less than that of walking on concrete road so that it is easy to wake on concrete road than on sand.

Friction is responsible to hold the object in its place firmly. As there is more friction between concrete and feet it is more easy to walk on concrete than on muddy road. Hope its clear.
