$A$ rectangular block has a square base measuring $a \times a$ and its height is $h$. It moves on a horizontal surface in a direction perpendicular to one of the edges. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. It will topple if

  • A
    $\mu > \frac{h}{a}$
  • B
    $\mu > \frac{a}{h}$
  • C
    $\mu > \frac{2a}{h}$
  • D
