1) All answers are wrong.
If you needed friction to stay on a ladder, you'd be in trouble.
Isn't the man staning on the ladder?
You can't have a friction force without a normal force
2) A agree with marble having the least friction. Is it easier to slide on a concrete surface or an athletic field? Which surface is roughest?
