A wedge of mass m, lying on a rough horizontal plane, is acted upon by a horizontal force `F_(1)` and another force `F_(2)`, inclined at an angle `theta` to the vertical. The block is in equilibrium, then minimum coefficient of friction between it and te surface is

A

`(F_(2)sin theta)/((mg+F_(2) cos theta))`

B

`((F_(1)cos theta+F_(2))/(mg-F sin theta))`

C

`((F_(1)+F_(2)sin theta))/((mg+F_(2)cos theta))`

D

`((F_(1)sin theta -F_(2))/((mg-F_(2)cos theta))`
