A. rolling friction
B. static friction
C. sliding friction
D. fluid friction​

Answer: Static Friction

Explanation: As you tilt the book you know that it will stay fixed to start with, but eventually, once the angle is large enough, the book will start to slide. It is the static friction force that holds the book in place at small angles of tilt.
