Let \sf{m} be the mass of the insect.

Free Body Diagram of the insect is given below.

\setlength{\unitlength}{1.5mm}\begin{picture}(5,5)\thicklines\put(0,0){\vector(-1,-1){7.07}}\put(0,0){\vector(1,-1){7.07}}\put(8,-9){$\sf{mg\sin\alpha}$}\put(-17,-9.2){$\sf{mg\cos\alpha}$}\put(0,0){\circle*{1}}\put(0,0){\vector(0,-1){14.14}}\put(0,0){\vector(1,1){7.07}}\put(0,0){\vector(-1,1){7.07}}\put(-2.5,-18){\sf{mg}}\put(8,7){\sf{R}}\put(-8.5,7.5){\sf{f}}\qbezier(-1.5,-1.5)(-1,-3)(0,-2)\put(-2.5,-5){$\alpha$}\end{picture}

From the fig. we get,

\sf{\longrightarrow R=mg\cos\alpha\quad\quad\dots(1)}

As the insects crawls up very slowly, it would be due to that the friction acting on it is greater than or equal to its weight component, i.e.,

\sf{\longrightarrow f\geq mg\sin\alpha\quad\quad\dots(2)}

But we know that,

\sf{\longrightarrow f=\mu\,R}

From (1)

\sf{\longrightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{3}\,mg\cos\alpha}

Then (2) becomes,

\sf{\longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}\,mg\cos\alpha\geq mg\sin\alpha}

Since \alpha is an acute angle,

\sf{\longrightarrow\cot\alpha\geq3}

So the maximum possible value of \alpha will be given by,

\sf{\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{\cot\alpha_{max}=3}}}

because value of \cot\alpha decreases with increase in value of \alpha.

Hence (a) is the answer.
