Not true. If you formed a closed loop with your finger, through the handle, you could lift it up. This would work even if the loop had a gap which was narrower than the thinnest part of the handle. The cup would rotate around the finger so that some of the contents would spill out, but that is not relevant to the question.

Without friction, it would be challenging to grip the cup of tea securely, and it might slip from your hand due to the lack of frictional force providing a counteracting force to your grip. This could result in difficulty picking up the cup or holding it steadily.

No, you do not need friction to pick up a cup. In fact, reducing friction by applying lubricants can sometimes make it easier to pick up a cup. Gravity and the force exerted by your hand are the main factors involved in picking up a cup.

Not with one hand because the cup would rotate round the point at which your fingers contact the handle. But you could with two hands (I think).

How can different types of friction can be benefit to your life?

Friction is beneficial to our life because without it, you wouldn't be able to walk, talk, or hold items. Trying to walk on ice can be compared to trying to walk without fricion, except that instead of moving forward slightly, all you would do is slide your feet back and forth. Talking requires air to rub against your vocal cords and make them vibrate, which would be impossible without friction. If you tried to pick up an item, you would have to be very careful and have your hand as a cup under it, as the item would be constantly sliding around.
