Solution

The correct option is B
-2

$G i v e n, (c o s x + s i n x)^{2} + k s i n x c o s x - 1 = 0, \forall x \Rightarrow c o s^{2} x + s i n^{2} x + 2 c o s x s i n x + k s i n x c o s x - 1 = 0, \forall x \Rightarrow (k + 2) c o s x s i n x = 0, \forall x \Rightarrow k + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow k = - 2$
