Answer

Given, (sec2 θ - 1)(1 - cosec2 θ)

By using trigonometric identities the equation can be written as,

tan2 θ(cot2 θ)tan2 θ×1tan2 θ1.\Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 \text{ θ} (-\text{cot}^2 \text{ θ}) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 \text{ θ} \times \dfrac{-1}{\text{tan}^2 \text{ θ}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow -1.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
