$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth inclined wedge $ABC$ of inclination $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The wedge is given an acceleration $a$ towards the right. The relation between $a$ and $\theta$ for the block to remain stationary on the wedge is

  • A
    $a = g \csc \theta$
  • B
    $a = g \sin \theta$
  • C
    $a = g \tan \theta$
  • D
    $a = g \cos \theta$
