Hi Aditi,

 

g(q) is a constant function, and hence always periodic.

 

So the period of k|sinx| + k2|cosx| should be pi/2.

Which is possible only when k=1

 

Since the period of f(x) = |sinx| + |cosx| is pi/2

Note that f(x+pi/2) = f(x) for k=1 only.

 

Hence Option (B).

 

Hope that helps.

 

Best Regards,

Ashwin (IIT Madras).
