If you meant "prevent" motion, rather than "present" motion, the answer is friction.

Can there be a frictional force between two surfaces when there is no relative motion between the two?
Yes, friction can be the force that is preventing relative motion between two surfaces; this is called traction. That is why you can walk without slipping.
What is an unbalanced force that opposes motion between two surfaces called?
Friction
What is the force called that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact?
Friction
What is the force which tends to prevent motion between two surfaces called?
friction force
Which is force that resists sliding motion between two surfaces in contact?
The force is called friction.
Force that resists motion between two touching surfaces and always acts opposite to the direction of motion?
A force that resists motion between two touching surfaces and always acts opposite to the direction of motion is called friction. Friction will slow down a car when the brakes are applied.
What is the force that can move between surfaces?
The force that can move between surfaces is called friction. It resists the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material element sliding against each other.
What is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces?
Friction. This type of friction is called static friction.
Unbalanced force opposing motion between touching surfaces?
The unbalanced force that opposes motion between touching surfaces is called friction. It acts in the opposite direction of the applied force and depends on the nature of the surfaces and the force pressing them together. Friction can be reduced by using lubricants or by increasing the smoothness of the surfaces.
Which force motion decreases due to interaction between two surfaces?
Friction is the force that decreases motion through the interaction between two surfaces.
What does is friction resists motion between?
Friction will resist the motion between two touching surfaces.
A force that opposes motion between surfaces that are touching?
Friction
