Two wooden blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. If a force $P$ is applied to the system as shown in the figure such that the mass $m$ remains stationary with respect to the block of mass $M$, then the magnitude of the force $P$ is

  • A
    $(M+m) g \tan \beta$
  • B
    $g \tan \beta$
  • C
    $m g \cos \beta$
  • D
    $(M+m) g \operatorname{cosec} \beta$
