i think the answer is D
Friction is dependent upon the weight acting between two surfaces. When the mass is more, weight is more and so friction will be more.

This ia due to the laws of solid friction 1, which states tha fricion opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact
: . It depends on the relative motion between the surfaces in contact (C)

the provided answer is incorrect but if I'm to choose the most correct option it wouldn't be option c as static friction depends on the weight of the normal reaction not relative movement between two bodies otherwise it wouldn't be static so D is correct
