Solution
The correct option is B Box B
The force of friction increases when one object is pressed hard against the other as it strengthens the interlocking between the points of contacts of the two surfaces. Thus, more the weight of the object, the harder it gets pressed against the other surface thus increasing friction. Thus, the force of friction will be more for Box B as its weight is more than box A.
