If the coefficient of friction between the block of mass $m$ and the wedge is $\mu $,then the maximum horizontal acceleration of the wedge for which the block will remain at rest with respect to the wedge is

  • A
    $\left( {\frac{{3 - 4\mu }}{{4 + 3\mu }}} \right)g$
  • B
    $\left( {\frac{{1 + \mu }}{{1 - \mu }}} \right)g$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{1 - \mu }}{{1 + \mu }}} \right)g$
  • D
    $\left( {\frac{{3 + 4\mu }}{{4 - 3\mu }}} \right)g$
