Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When we apply more force than the threshold limit, only the box will move in the direction where the force is applied. But, even when the box moves, a friction force will act on the body, opposing the applying force. So, in this case, the friction opposes the motion.
Friction is present everywhere. It acts on the body moving through the air, water, etc. The friction depends on several factors, like the Type of surface on which the body is moving, but it’s impossible to have no friction naturally.
