$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on the top of another block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between them is $\mu$. What is the maximum acceleration with which the block $M$ may move so that $m$ also moves along with it?

  • A
    $\mu g$
  • B
    $g/\mu$
  • C
    $\mu^2/g$
  • D
