Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{1 + sin α}{sin γ - cos β}$
We know that
${cos}^{2} α + {cos}^{2} β + {cos}^{2} γ = 1$
$\Rightarrow {cos}^{2} α = {sin}^{2} γ - {cos}^{2} β$
$\Rightarrow 1 - {sin}^{2} α = (sin γ + cos β) (sin γ - cos β)$
$\Rightarrow (1 - sin α) (1 + sin α) = (sin γ + cos β) (sin γ - cos β)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{sin γ + cos β}{1 - sin α} = \frac{1 + sin α}{sin γ - cos β}$
