Solution

The correct option is C 0.3 g
Here by the string constraint we can say that both block will have same magnitude of acceleration.

By the free body diagram


We know that the acceleration of the system is, here the applied force will be mg and the opposing force will be f=μN=μmg

asys=applied forceopposing forcetotal mass

asys=mgμmg2m=0.3g m/s2

Hence option C is the correct answer
