To determine the maximum frictional force acting on an object given the coefficient of static friction and the normal force, we use the formula for static friction:

\(\[ f_{\text{max}} = \mu \cdot F_{\text{N}} \]\)

where:
- \(\( f_{\text{max}} \)\) is the maximum frictional force,
- \(\( \mu \)\) is the coefficient of static friction, and
- \(\( F_{\text{N}} \)\) is the normal force.

Given that:
- The coefficient of static friction (\(\( \mu \)\)) is 0.35, and
- The normal force (\(\( F_{\text{N}} \)\)) is 80 newtons,

we can substitute these values into the formula:

\(\[ f_{\text{max}} = 0.35 \cdot 80 \]\)

Therefore:

\(\[ f_{\text{max}} = 28 \, \text{newtons} \]\)

So, the maximum frictional force is 28 newtons.

The correct answer is:

O B. 28 newtons
