Solving,

cot 46°tan 44°3sec 20°cosec 70°+5cot (90° - 44°)tan 44°3sec (90° - 70°)cosec 70°+5tan 44°tan 44°3cosec 70°cosec 70°+513×1+513+53.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cot 46°}}{\text{tan 44°}} - 3 \dfrac{\text{sec 20°}}{\text{cosec 70°}} + 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cot (90° - 44°)}}{\text{tan 44°}} - 3 \dfrac{\text{sec (90° - 70°)}}{\text{cosec 70°}} + 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{tan 44°}}{\text{tan 44°}} - 3 \dfrac{\text{cosec 70°}}{\text{cosec 70°}} + 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1 - 3 \times 1 + 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1 - 3 + 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
