The tension in the string with friction would be the biggest because of the involvement of the force of gravity. This would result in that the friction force that is acting on the system. There is no friction in the frictionless system, and only the force of gravity is relevant.
The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.
Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.
