Write sin2Θ as 2sinΘcosΘ...so we have

2sinΘcosΘ = √(2)cosΘ   divide both sides by √(2) =

√(2)sinΘcosΘ = cosΘ  subtract cosΘ from both sides

√(2)sinΘcosΘ - cosΘ  = 0    factor

cosΘ (√(2)sinΘ - 1) = 0     set both factors to 0

cosΘ = 0  so...... Θ = 90°      

and        

√(2)sinΘ - 1 = 0      add 1 to both sides

√(2)sinΘ  = 1          divide both sides by √(2)

sinΘ = 1/√(2)     so.......Θ = 135°

So "D" is the answer.....here's a graph of the solution. here.......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/0zovelnrq5
