Detailed Solution

Yes, it is true that rolling friction is greater than sliding friction.
Rolling friction is produced due to the rolling of the object on a surface while sliding friction is produced due rubbing of two surfaces. The sliding friction provides more friction than rolling friction because of sliding friction, the whole surface is in contact with the ground(base) whereas in rolling friction there is only line contact between the surface and the ground.
