Which one of the following forces is a contact force?
$(a)$. Force of gravity
$(b)$. Force of friction
$(c)$. Magnetic force
$(d)$. Electrostatic force
A frictional force can be acted only when the surfaces of two objects are in contact. So, the Force of friction is a contact force.
Therefore, option $(b)$ is correct.
