Answer:

θ = {0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π} . . . . choice B

Explanation:

In this equation, r will be a maximum where cos(4θ) is a maximum. That is where ...

4θ = 2kπ . . . . for some integer k

Dividing by 4 gives ...

θ = k(π/2)

θ = {0, π/2, π, 3π/2, 2π} . . . . matches choice B

__

You will note that the graph also has extremes at odd multiples of π/4. These are the locations where cosine is a minimum and r is negative. It can be argued that r is not a maximum at those points.
