no attempt or force is applied to move an object at rest. what type of friction is acting on the object?
kinetic friction
static friction
normal friction
there is no friction

Explanation:

Static friction acts on an object at rest when a force is applied to move it. It prevents the object from starting to move until the applied force exceeds the maximum static - friction force. Kinetic friction acts when the object is already in motion. Normal force is perpendicular to the surface and not the type of friction asked about here. Since the object is at rest and a force is applied to move it, the friction is static.

Answer:

Static Friction
