C.
Explanation: Friction provides traction so we can walk, drive, and brake (helps things start moving and stop safely), but it also causes parts to wear out and converts useful mechanical energy into heat (wasting energy). Options A and B are incorrect: A is wrong because friction does not make objects move faster, and B is incomplete/awkward—while stopping can be useful, the key disadvantage is wear and energy loss.
