Well costheta=1, at 0, 2pi,... knowing this we can exclude the first two as the are not undefined anywhere. tan is sin/cos, at 0 sin is also 0 so it becomes 0/1 which is 0, not undefined. sec is1/cos, cos is 1, this is just 1 csc is 1/sin, sin is 0, 1/0 is undefined, meaning there will be an asymptote cot is cos/sin, this is again 1/0, so it is also an asymptote The last two answers are the ones you want
