Solution

The correct option is D north
Friction resists movement when object is rubbed against each other.
Sliding friction is between the objects once one or both is sliding against one another.
During this case, the wood box is being pushed on the surface of the ground from north to south direction. Hence, friction will come in play on the box in the opposite direction of motion. So, friction will act towards the north direction.
