Hint: In trigonometric function, tanθ,
As angle approaches to zero ( θ0) , tangent of angle approached to infinity (tanθ).
tan1must be a larger value (atleast greater than 1); use this fact to find inequality between sin1 & cos1.
The Square of numbers for greater than 0 and less than 1, is smaller than the number.
For example: Square of 0.6
i.e. (0.6)2=0.36
0.36 < 0.6
The range is a set of all output values of function as independent variables varies thoughout the domain.
The domain is a set of all possible values on which function is defined.
For trigonometric function y=sinx , independent variable is x.
The domain is the set of all real numbers.
Range of trigonometric function sinx=[1,1] and cosx=[1,1]
(sinx)2<sinxand (cosx)2<cosx
Use above mention property to find the inequality between sin1 & sin1.

Complete step by step solution:
Step 1: Drawing a graph of the tangent function.

We know that tan1>1
It is known, tan1=sin1cos1
sin1cos1>1
sin1>cos1 …… (1)
when smaller number is substracting form larger number, then result is real positive number.
sin1cos1>0 (from (1))
Hence, sin1is positive (or greater than 0) and cos1is also positive (or greater than 0).
sin1>0; cos1 > 0
The Sum of two positive numbers is greater than their difference.
(sin1+cos1)>(sin1cos1) …… (2)
Step 2: Draw graph of the sine function

Range of sine function: sinx=[1,1] 
sin1<1
sin1>sin1
Hence, for values less than ‘1’, higher power gives lower values
Example: For (0<x<1)
x>x2>x3>x4>x5.....
Similarly, sin1>sin21
sin1<sin1& cos1<cos1
Thus, (sin1sin1) and (cos1cos1) are real positive number.
Then, (sin1sin1)+(cos1cos1)>0
(sin1+cos1sin1cos1)>0
On transferring number to the other side of the inequality, a sign of the number changes.
(+sin1+cos1)>(sin1+cos1)
Multiplying by a minus sign on both sides. The inequality reverses.
(sin1+cos1)<(sin1+cos1) …… (3)
From (2) and (3)
(sin1cos1)<(sin1+cos1)<(sin1+cos1)
Final answer: Among (sin1+cos1),(sin1+cos1),(sin1cos1); (sin1+cos1)is the biggest.

The correct option is (B).

Note:
The range of a function is defined as the set of all values of the function defined on its domain.
Range and domain of some trigonometric functions are given below:
Trigonometric function Domain Range
Sine (,+)[-1,1]
Cosine (,+)[-1,1]
Tangent All real numbers except π2+nπ(,+)
Cosecant All real numbers except nπ(,1][1,+)
Secant All real numbers except π2+nπ(,1][1,+)
CotangentAll real numbers except nπ(,+)
