Correct Answer: $2\operatorname{cosec A}$


Solution : $\frac{\sin A}{1+\cos A}+\frac{1+\cos A}{\sin A}$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A + (1 + \cos A)^2}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A +1 + 2\cos A + \cos^2 A}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$
$=\frac{2 + 2\cos A}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$ [$\because \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$]
$=\frac{2(1 + \cos A)}{\sin A (1 + \cos A)}$
$=\frac{2}{\sin A}$
$=2\operatorname{cosec A}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2\operatorname{cosec A}$.
