Correct option is: A)\(sec^4\theta - sec^2\theta\)
\(tan^2 \theta + tan^4 \theta\) = \(tan^2\theta (1+ tan^2\theta) \)
= \(tan^2\theta.sec^2\theta \) (\(\because\) 1 + \(tan^2\theta= sec^2 \theta\))
= \((sec^2\theta-1) sec ^2\theta \) (\(\because\) \(tan^2\theta= sec^2 \theta\)-1)
= \(sec^4\theta - sec^2\theta\)
