A regular polygon of n sides is placed on a rough surface vertically as such one of the side of regular polygaon touches the surface. A force is applied horizontally at the top. The chosen value of n are 3,5 and 8. For which value of n, the polygon first is likely to topple?

A

3

B

5

C

8

D

All of these
