Detailed Solution

The marbles will move the shortest distance when the surface is covered with a layer of sand.
The force of friction generated between the surfaces of marble and the layer of sand is greater than the friction between marble and silk and also greater than the friction between marble and glass sheet. This is because the marble moves the shortest distance on the horizontal surface covered with a layer of sand.
