The answer is A the body tends to move only if angle of friction is equals to angle of inclination

A body on an inclined plane just tends to slide down if the angle of inclination is equal to the angle of friction because when angle of inclination is equal to angle of friction, the component of weight parallel to the plane is just sufficient to overcome the frictional force.
