Solution

The correct option is A 2 N
Block A moves due to friction. Maximum acceleration of A can be fmaxmor μ mgm or μ g=0.2×10=2 m/s2. If both the blocks move together, then combined acceleration of A and B can be 103 of 3.33 m/s2. Since this is more than the maximum acceleration of A, slipping between them will take place and force of friction will be maximum or μ mA g=2 N.
