Correct answer: A

  1. Condition for a body to just begin sliding on an incline

When a block is on an inclined plane of angle θ\thetaθ, the forces along the plane are:

  • Component of weight down the plane: mgsin⁡θmg\sin\thetamgsinθ
  • Maximum static friction up the plane: fsmax⁡=μsNf_s^{\max}=\mu_s Nfsmax​=μs​N
  • Normal reaction: N=mgcos⁡θN=mg\cos\thetaN=mgcosθ

At the point where the block just begins to slide, limiting equilibrium gives:

mgsin⁡θ=μsmgcos⁡θmg\sin\theta = \mu_s mg\cos\thetamgsinθ=μs​mgcosθ

So,

μs=tan⁡θ\mu_s = \tan\thetaμs​=tanθ

  1. Substitute the given angle

Here,

θ=45∘\theta=45^\circθ=45∘

Hence,

μs=tan⁡45∘=1\mu_s = \tan 45^\circ = 1μs​=tan45∘=1

  1. Match with the options
  • A: 111 ✅
  • B: 1.71.71.7 ❌
  • C: 0.50.50.5 ❌
  • D: 13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}3​1​ ❌

Therefore, the correct answer is:

1\boxed{1}1​

So, Option A is correct.
