Answer
Correct option: B.

(B) $A + B =45^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow \tan (A+B)=1$ $\Rightarrow \tan A+\tan B=1-\tan A \tan B$ $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\cot A}+\frac{1}{\cot B}=1-\frac{1}{\cot A \cot B }$ $\Rightarrow \cot A +\cot B =\cot A \cot B -1$ $\Rightarrow \cot A \cot B -\cot A -\cot B =1$ $\Rightarrow \cot A \cot B -\cot A -\cot B +1=2$ $\Rightarrow(\cot A -1)(\cot B -1)=2$
