Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can start with the relation

cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 = 1

multiply both sides by cos(x)

cos(x) = cos(x)^3 + sin(x)^2*cos(x) = cos(x)^2*(cos(xI + sin(x)^2/cos(x))

now we can replace sin(x)/cos(x) = tg(x)

cos(x) = cos(x)^2*(cos(x) + sin(x)*tan(x))

So the correct option is B
