On the surface which is covered with sand, the marble will move the shortest distance.Because the sand will offer the greatest friction with the marble among the surface which is covered with silk cloth and the surface which is covered with glass sheet.

Answer:

On the surface covered with sand

Explanation:

This because the sand will provide more friction as compared to other surface. the other surfaces are also very smooth and so friction is less.
