Solution

The correct option is D
static friction

Friction that exists between two surfaces in contact when there is no relative motion between them is known as static friction. It is a self-adjusting force which has a maximum limit. When the applied force overcomes this maximum value of static friction, the object starts moving. After this, kinetic or sliding friction comes into play.
