$A$ block of mass $m$ is at rest on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$ and coefficient of friction $\mu$,as shown in the figure. The frictional force acting on the block is:

  • A
    $mg \cos \theta$
  • B
    $mg \sin \theta$
  • C
    $\mu mg \sin \theta$
  • D
    $\mu mg \cos \theta$
