$A$ force $F$ is applied on the top of a cube as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the cube and the ground is $\mu$. If $F$ is gradually increased,the cube will topple before sliding. Then the range of $\mu$ is:

  • A
    $\mu > 1$
  • B
    $\mu < \frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\mu > \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\mu < 1$
