$A$ block is kept on a frictionless inclined surface with an angle of inclination '$\alpha$'. The incline is given a horizontal acceleration '$a$' to keep the block stationary relative to the incline. Then '$a$' is equal to:

  • A
    $g$
  • B
    $g \tan \alpha$
  • C
    $g / \tan \alpha$
  • D
    $g \csc \alpha$
