The minimum angle req to impend/start motion on incline plane is called Angle of Repose. The correct choice is angle of repose.

The angle of Repose: the maximum angle of inclination of the plane at which a body can stay at rest. Even at ANGLE OF REPOSE, the body doesn't move. It's about to start.
The angle of friction is the angle of inclination of the plane with the horizontal when the body just starts to slide.
So, here body begins to slide. It corresponds to the angle of friction. If it was mentioned about to start or impending, it would have been a repose angle.

Value of angle of repose and angle of friction is same but definition is different here according to definition angle of repose is the correct answer.

The angle of repose is right.

The inclination angle is called the angle of repose but also the body will only slide down if AOF=AOR.

Actually they asked at what angle of inclination of plane body will start moving downward. So, when angle of repose will equal to angle of friction it will start moving downwards. So, angle of friction is the answer.

The angle of repose is equal to angle friction at the time when sliding starts on an inclined plane.
The angle of repose is greater than angle of friction when the body at at rest at inclined plane.
The angle of repose is greater than angle of friction when the body at at rest at inclined plane.

When a body is on incline plane and we gradually increase the inclination angle at which the body just began to move downward, is called angle of repose.
At the same time, the angle repose is equal to the angle of friction.
At the same time, the angle repose is equal to the angle of friction.
