The correct answer is

\(1+\tan^{2}\theta + (1-\sec^{2}\theta)\)

By the fundamental identity, \(\cos^{2}\theta + \sin^{2}\theta = 1\). So we need the option equal to 1.

Use \(1+\tan^{2}\theta = \sec^{2}\theta\).

Option 4: \((1+\tan^{2}\theta) + (1-\sec^{2}\theta) = \sec^{2}\theta + 1 - \sec^{2}\theta = 1\).

Hence, the expression equal to \(\cos^{2}\theta + \sin^{2}\theta\) is \(1+\tan^{2}\theta + (1-\sec^{2}\theta)\).
