Solution

The correct option is D Upwards along the inclined plane
Friction opposes relative motion between two bodies in contact.
It acts in direction so as to oppose the relative motion between the objects. As the block is sliding down the inclined plane, friction will act upwards along the plane to oppose the motion of the block.
