Answer:
A. Normal force is always perpendicular to the area of contact between an object and support.
Explanation:
Normal force is defined as the contact force. If there is no contact between the surfaces, they cannot applies a force which is normal on each other. For e.g, the surfaces of a cubical box and the cart cannot applies a force of normal on each other because of no contact.
If, when there is a contact between two surfaces they applies a normal force on each other, and this force is  perpendicular to the each other . This normal force is necessary to prevent object to penetrating into other.
