Answer

a. $0$

Work Step by Step

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{x}{r}$ As can be seen from the figure as $\theta$ goes from $0^\circ$ to $90^\circ$, $x$ decreases and approaches zero. At $x=0 \hspace{20pt} \cos{\theta} = \dfrac{0}{r} = 0$ $\therefore \cos{\theta}$ approaches $0$ as $\theta$ increases from $0^\circ$ to $90^\circ$
