Hint: The inverse trigonometric functions are also known as Arc functions. Inverse Trigonometric Functions are defined in a certain interval under restricted domains. Trigonometry basics include the basic trigonometry and trigonometric ratios such as sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot and we know that the domain of cos1x is [1,1] and hence with respect to cosx we can find the range of x .

Complete step by step solution:
Given,
 cos1(cosx)=x
We know that the domain of cos1x is [1,1]
  1cosx1
  cos1(1)cos1(cosx)cos1(1)
  0cos1(cosx)π
If, 0xπ then
 x[0,π] .
Therefore, option B is the right answer.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: The key point to evaluate any inverse trigonometric function is that we must know all the basic trigonometric functions and their inverse relationship. As in the given equation consists of cosine function and inverse function of cos, i.e., ddxarccos(x)=11x2 ,hence we must know all the inverse trigonometric identities with respect to the range of function to solve these types of questions.
