Concept used:

Cosec 45° = √2 ; sec 45° = √2

Cosec 30° = 2 ; sec 30° = (2/√3)   

Calculation:

Cosec 75° = cosec (45 + 30)

cosec (45 + 30) = (sec 45 × sec 30 × cosec 45 × cosec 30)/{(sec 45 × cosec 30) + (cosec 45 × sec 30)}

⇒ (√2 × (2/√3) × √2 × 2)/{(√2 × 2) + (√2 × (2/√3))}

⇒ (8/√3)/{2√2 + (2√2/√3)}

⇒ (8/√3)/{(2√6 + 2√2)/√3}

⇒ 8/(2√6 + 2√2)

By rationalizing the term

⇒ 8 × (2√6 - 2√2)/{(2√6 + 2√2) × (2√6 - 2√2)}

⇒ (16√6 - 16√2)/{(2√6)2 - (2√2)2}

⇒ 16 × (√6 - √2)/{24 - 8}

⇒ 16 × (√6 - √2)/16 = (√6 - √2)

∴ The correct answer is (√6 - √2).
