The correct answer is  option B. 45°.

Detailed Explanation

We know that the trigonometric function tangent is the ratio of sin and cos.

i.e., tan A=

sin A

cos A

Given, sin A = cos A

=> tan A=

sin A

sin A

cos A

cos A

or

=> tan A=

= 1

=>tan A=1 or A=tan   (1)

=> A=45°

(    tan 45° = 1)
