\begin{gathered} \frac{d x}{d t}=a(1+\cos t), \frac{d y}{d t}=a \sin t \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y}{d x} \cdot \frac{d t}{d x}=\frac{a \sin t}{a(1+\cos t)} \\ =\frac{2 \sin \frac{t}{2} \cos \frac{t}{2}}{2 \cos ^2 \frac{t}{2}}=\tan \frac{t}{2} \end{gathered}

Hence (A) is correct answer.
