Answer:

180 Degrees, or pi radians

Explanation:

In a unit circle, cot(x) is defined as the x coordinate over the y coordinate, or
cos(x)/sin(x).
For cot(x) to be undefined, that would mean for sin(x) to be zero, as dividing by zero makes it infinity.
Out of your possible answers,
sin(3\pi/2)=-1,
sin(0)=1,and
sin(\pi))=0, meaning that 180 degrees is the right answer.
