  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It is given that, \(\begin{aligned} \cos x+\cos ^2 x & =1 \Rightarrow \cos x=\sin ^2 x \\ \therefore \quad \sin ^2 x+\sin ^4 x & =\cos x+\cos ^2 x=1 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
