Answer

Graph I.

Work Step by Step

Because $\sin^{2}A+\cos^{2}A=1$, the x and y coordinates satisfy $x^{2}+y^{2}=1$ So, as z changes, this circle translates into a cylinder propagating around the z-axis. The curve will lie on this cylinder. The values of z are between -1 and 1 (the range of cosine), so the cylinder does not extend indefinitely. z values repeat after the period of $\pi$, while the x and y coordinates have a period of 2$\pi$. The curve will retrace itself. These points lead to graph I.
