Solution

The correct option is A limiting friction
Static friction is a force that hinders the movement of an object from the position of rest.
Therefore, to bring the object in motion, there is a need to overcome the maximum static friction(limiting friction) existing between the surfaces.
So, in order to overcome the maximum static friction, the amount of force which needs to be applied, will give the measure of the limiting friction.
