The correct choice is (a) Electromagnetic

Explanation: At the contact surface of two bodies (here, fluid layers) molecular bonds are formed. When there is relative motion between them these bonds try to oppose it. This is how friction works. Therefore we can say it is an electromagnetic force as molecular bonds are considered to be electromagnetic forces.
