Skin friction drag is reduced by:

A

Increasing surface roughness

B

Maintaining smooth, clean surfaces and keeping boundary layer laminar as long as possible

Correct
C

Increasing angle of attack

D

Flying at lower altitudes

Explanation

Smooth surfaces promote laminar boundary layer flow which has much lower skin friction than turbulent flow.
