To convert a rectangular equation in polar form you use the next equations:


\begin{gathered} x=r\cdot\cos \theta \\ y=r\cdot\sin \theta \end{gathered}

As the given rectangular equation is x=4 use the first equation and substituthe the x by 4, then solve r:


\begin{gathered} 4=r\cdot\cos \theta \\ r=(4)/(\cos \theta) \end{gathered}

Then, the correct answer is the option C.
