Solution

The correct option is B unstable
The equilibrium of particle in the givenscenario is unstable, because if it is
displaced, it would always slide down as there will be no force on the particle
(surface between particle and the wall is smooth), apart from the downward
gravitational pull and only torque is one due to the gravitational force
