Answer

Option D)

The table top will break and the object will fall to the floor.

Explanation

In this case the glass table top can exert maximum normal force of 1600N.

Force that the large object exert on table after it is released

Force = mg

          = 165kg * 9.81 m/s²

          = 1618.65 N

1618.65 > 1600

As the force exerted by large object is greater than normal force glass table will exert so the table top will break and the object will fall to the floor.
