B. π/8, 7π/8, 9π/8, 15π/8

C. π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π

D. 5π/8, 7π/8, 13π/8, 15π/8

√2 cos(2 θ )   =  1     divide both sides by  √2

 

cos (2 θ )  =   1 / √2

 

Let  2 θ   = x

 

cos ( x)  =  1 / √2       and this happens at x  =   pi/4 , 7pi/4 , 9pi/4 , 15pi/4

 

So 

 

2  θ     =  pi/4,  7pi/4 , 9pi/4, 15pi/4         divide by 2

 

 θ   =    pi / 8 , 7pi/ 8, 9pi / 8, 15pi / 8       answer  "B"
