A pen of mass 'm' is lying on a piece of paper of mass M placed on a rough table. If the coefficient of friction between the pen and paper, and, the paper and table are `mu_(1)` and `mu_(2)`, respectively, then the minimum horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by-

A

`(m + M) (mu_(1) + mu_(2))` g

B

`(mmu_(1)+Mmu_(2))`g

C

`{mmu_(1) + (m + M) mu_(2)}` g

D

`m(mu_(1) + mu_(2))` g
