Solution

The correct option is B static friction
When an external force is applied on two surfaces in contact but the force is not enough to move the object/s, then the force is said to instill a tendency for movement in the movable object. An object which has such a tendency to move, is held stationary by static friction unless the force being applied externally is not enough to cause motion.
