Explanation:

\(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}(\sec \theta-\tan \theta)\)

\(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1-sin\theta }{cos\theta} [\frac{0}{0}\) Form]

\(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}}( \frac{-cos\theta}{-sin\theta}) =0\)  (using L' hospital rule)

∴ Option (b) is correct.
