Answer

$(A)$ $\tan{x}\sec{x}\cos{x}= \tan{x}$

Work Step by Step

To find out which expression is not equivalent to $1$, let's go through each of the expressions $1$ by $1$ and simplify them. Note, we will use trigonometric identities. $(A)$ $\tan{x}\sec{x}\cos{x}= \tan{x}\frac{1}{\cos{x}}\cos{x} = \tan{x}$ As we can see it is not equivalent to $1$, so we have found the answer. So we do not have to go through other expressions.
