The correct answer is: $1$

$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{mg} \sin 45=\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{L}} \\
& \mathrm{mg} \cos 45=\mathrm{N} \\
& \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{L}}=\mu_{\mathrm{s}} N \\
& \mu_{\mathrm{s}}=\tan 45=1
\end{aligned}$
or
$\tan \theta=\mu_s$ ( $\theta$ is angle of repose)
$\tan 45=\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=1$
