Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Static friction resists the tendency of motion by providing only the required amount of force to counterbalance the external force. Thus it can be said to be self adjusting. The maximum value of friction is given by μN which is also called the limiting friction.
