  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\sin x \implies f'(x) = \cos x\) For \(x \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), \(\cos x > 0\). \(f(x)=\tan x \implies f'(x) = \sec^2 x\) For \(x \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), \(\sec^2 x > 0\). Therefore, (A) and (C) are increasing.
