As we learnt in

Static Friction -

Self adjusting force because it changes itself according with the applied force.

- wherein

It always equal to net external force. Static friction (F = P) using diag.

 

 

 

For equilibrium of block,

f=mg\sin \Theta

\therefore \: \: 10= m\times 10\times \sin 30^{\circ}

or\: \: \: \: m=2kg

Correct option is 1.
