Correct Answer: $\sin A$


Solution : $(\operatorname{cosec}A+\cot A)(1 - \cos A)$
$=\left(\frac{1}{\sin A} + \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}\right)(1 - \cos A)$
$=\left(\frac{1 + \cos A}{\sin A}\right)(1 - \cos A)$
$=\frac{1 - \cos^2 A}{\sin A}$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A}{\sin A}$ [We know that $1 - \cos^2 A = \sin^2 A$]
$=\sin A$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sin A$.
