Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

\(\cos(a + b) = \cos a\cos b - \sin a\sin b\)

\(\cos75° = \cos(30 + 45) = (\cos30)(\cos45) - (\sin30)(\sin45)\)

= \((\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) - (\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\)

= \(\frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}}{4}\)

= \(\frac{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3} - 1)}{4}\)
