Given determinant A=\begin{vmatrix} 1 &\sin \theta &1 \\ -\sin \theta & 1 & \sin \theta \\ -1&-\sin \theta &1 \end{vmatrix}

|A| = 1(1+\sin^2 \Theta) -\sin \Theta(-\sin \Theta+\sin \Theta)+1(\sin^2 \Theta +1)

= 1+ \sin ^2 \Theta + \sin ^2 \Theta +1

= 2+2\sin ^2 \Theta = 2(1+\sin^2 \Theta)

Now, given the range of \Theta from 0\leq \Theta \leq 2\pi

\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin \Theta \leq 1

\Rightarrow 0 \leq \sin^2 \Theta \leq 1

\Rightarrow 1 \leq 1+\sin^2 \Theta \leq 2

\Rightarrow 2 \leq 2(1+\sin^2 \Theta) \leq 4

Therefore the  |A|\ \epsilon\ [2,4].

Hence the correct answer is D.
