Solution

The correct option is B
When the plane is horizontal there will be no frictional force acting as there will be no driving force. The maximum angle for the which the block remains stationary is called the angle of repose

Let α= angle of repose
For θα, block is stationary and force of friction,
f=mgsinθ
or fsinθ
i.e., it is sine graph
For θα Block slides downwards
f=μmgcosθ
or fcosθ
i.e, now it is cosine graph.

Hence option b will be the correct answer
