Question

____ is essential for daily tasks such as walking, riding a bicycle, and holding objects.
texture
mass
weight
friction

Explanation:

Friction allows us to walk (prevents slipping), ride a bicycle (provides traction between tires and road), and hold objects (stops them from slipping out of hands). Texture is a surface - related property, mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the force due to gravity acting on an object. None of these are as directly essential as friction for the given tasks.

Answer:

D. Friction
