The correct answer is: $r \leq \frac{\mu g}{\omega^2}$
When the disc spins the frictional force between the gramophone record and coin is $\mu \mathrm{mg}$
The coin will revolve with record, if
$$
\begin{aligned}
F_{\text {frictional }} & \geq F_{\text {centripetal }} \\
\mu m g & \geq m \omega^2 r \\
\frac{\mu g}{r} & \geq \omega^2
\end{aligned}
$$
