Solution

Firstly you should understand what coefficient of fiction

Cofficient of Friction is the value which shows relation between frictional force and normal force. μ is completely experimental

F = μN

A coefficient of friction that is more than one just means that friction is stronger than the normal force.

Hence it may be less than 1 equal to 1 or greater than 1..
Therefore Option (D)
