Given below are two statements:

$Statement$ $(I)$ : The limiting force of static friction depends on the area of contact and independent of materials.

$Statement$ $(II)$ : The limiting force of kinetic friction is independent of the area of contact and depends on materials.

  • 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
