Answer:
C. cot theta
Step-by-step explanation:
(csc theta -cot theta )/(sec theta -1)
csc = 1/ sin
cot = cos / sin
sec = 1 / cos
Let x = theta
(1/ sin x -cos x / sin x )/(1/ cos x -1)
Getting a common denominator in the denominator and combining terms
(1- cos x)/ sinx / ( 1 - cos x) / cos x
(1- cosx) (1- cosx)
----------- ÷ ------------
sinx cos x

(1- cosx) cosx
----------- * ------------
sinx 1 -cos x
Cancel like terms
cos x / sin x
cos / sin = cot
cot x
cot theta
