Solution

The correct option is D $x = (2 n + 1) \frac{π}{2}, n \in Z$
Since, $| a + b | = | a | + | b | \Rightarrow a b \geq 0$
So, $| sin x + cos x | = | sin x | + | cos x |$
$\Rightarrow sin x cos x \geq 0$

Possible cases are :
$(i) sin x$ and $cos x$ are of same sign.
i.e., $x \in I$ quadrant or $x \in III$ quadrant.

$(i i) sin x = 0 \Rightarrow x = n π, n \in Z$

$(i i i) cos x = 0 \Rightarrow x = (2 n + 1) \frac{π}{2}, n \in Z$
