A small block of mass of $0.1 \ kg$ lies on a fixed inclined plane $P Q$ which makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. A horizontal force of $1 \ N$ on the block through its center of mass as shown in the figure. The block remains stationary if (take $g =10 \ m / s ^2$ ) $Image$

$(A)$ $\theta=45^{\circ}$

$(B)$ $\theta>45^{\circ}$ and a frictional force acts on the block towards $P$.

$(C)$ $\theta>45^{\circ}$ and a frictional force acts on the block towards $Q$.

$(D)$ $\theta<45^{\circ}$ and a frictional force acts on the block towards $Q$.
