Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $(I)$: The limiting force of static friction depends on the area of contact and is independent of materials.
$Statement$ $(II)$: The limiting force of kinetic friction is independent of the area of contact and depends on materials.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $Statement$ $I$ is correct but $Statement$ $II$ is incorrect
  • B
    $Statement$ $I$ is incorrect but $Statement$ $II$ is correct
  • C
    Both $Statement$ $I$ and $Statement$ $II$ are incorrect
  • D
    Both $Statement$ $I$ and $Statement$ $II$ are correct
