ANSWER

Figure 1

Step-by-step explanation

We want to identify the correct force diagram acting on the object on the inclined plane.

When an object is moving on an inclined plane, there are four forces acting on it:

1. Friction force, Fr

2. Normal force, FN

3. Component of weight acting parallel to the inclined plane = Wsinθ

4. Component of weight acting perpendicular to the inclined plane = Wcosθ

Therefore, the correct option is Figure 1.
