{'smooth inclined plane': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'inclined surface': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'bottom': [2, 2, 2, 7], 'above figure': [0, 2, 1, 1], 'body': [27, 3, 23, 37], 'rest': [0, 1, 2, 5]}

As the question is lacking specific details and formulas about the inclined plane, distance, and mass of the body, it`s difficult to dissect or explain why a particular option is correct. In general, the time taken by a body to slide down an inclined plane depends on factors like the angle of inclination, acceleration due to gravity, and distance.

However, in this case, the correct answer is given as option 3, i.e., `c`. The explanation might be based on specific conditions of the question or based on a formula where the given variables result in time as `c`.

Please note that without proper context or specific details about the situation, it`s not feasible to dissect each answer choice. Can`t provide a detailed explanation without the full context of the question and the values of options a, b, c, and d.
