Answer

$\textbf{I}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $\sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}$ Using degree mode and cosine function, we can find $\cos18^{\circ}$ and then its inverse to get $\sec18^{\circ}$. $\sec 18^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\cos 18^{\circ}}\approx1.051462224$ The appropriate approximation is $\textbf{I}$.
