  • D
    $\mathrm{n}^4 \mathrm{f}(x)$

Solution

Let $f(x) = (\cos x + i\sin x)(\cos 3x + i\sin 3x) \cdots (\cos(2n-1)x + i\sin(2n-1)x$. Using Euler's formula $\cos\theta + i\sin\theta = e^{i\theta}$, we rewrite the product as $f(x) = e^{ix} \cdot e^{i3x} \cdots e^{i(2n-1)x} = e^{ix(1 + 3 + 5 + \cdots + (2n-1))}$.

The sum $1 + 3 + 5 + \cdots + (2n-1)$ is an arithmetic progression of $n$ terms with sum $n^2$. Thus, $f(x) = e^{in^2x}$.

Differentiating, $f'(x) = in^2 e^{in^2x} = in^2 f(x)$. Taking the second derivative gives $f''(x) = in^2 f'(x) = in^2 (in^2 f(x)) = i^2 n^4 f(x) = -n^4 f(x)$.

Comparing with the options, the correct answer is B.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
