Answer.     [A]      

Solution.   It is given that sinA + sin2A = 1          …(*)
sinA = 1 – sin2A
sinA = cos2A               …(1)       ( \because 1 – sin2A = cos2A)
Squaring both sides we get
sin2 A = cos4A             …(2)
Hence cos2A + cos4A =
= sinA + sin2A            {using (1) and (2)}
= sinA + sin2A = 1      (given)
Hence option (A) is correct.
