An object of mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction $\mu$). $A$ person tries to pull the object by applying a horizontal force,but the object does not move. The force $F$ exerted by the surface on the object is:

  • A
    $F = Mg$
  • B
    $F = \mu Mg$
  • C
    $Mg \le F \le Mg\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}$
  • D
    $Mg \ge F \ge Mg\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}$
