Why are the contact points of the surface of a circular body stationary during pure rolling motion?

  • A
    Because the body is not moving.
  • B
    Because the velocity of the center of mass is zero.
  • C
    Because the velocity of the point of contact relative to the surface is zero.
  • D
    Because the friction force is zero.
