By looking the given options, we can say that some of them are following pythagorean identities and pythagorean identities are

sin^2 (x) + cos^2 (x) = 1, sec^2 (x) - tan^2 (x) = 1, csc^2 (x) - cot^2 (x) = 1

So out the four options, option a and option c are following pythagorean identity and option b and option d are not following pythagorean identity. And we have to find those options which are not identities.

So the correct options are

b) sec^{2} x+csc^{2} x=1 / d) tan^{2} x + sec^{2} x = 1
