$A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$

$A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha\\ -\sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$

$A+A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & -\sin\alpha\\ \sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$ $+ \begin{bmatrix} \cos\alpha & \sin\alpha\\ -\sin\alpha& \cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

$A+A' = \begin{bmatrix} 2\cos\alpha & 0\\ 0 & 2\cos\alpha \end{bmatrix}$ $= \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0\\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

$2 cos \alpha=1$

$cos \alpha=\frac{1}{2}$

$\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Option B is correct.
