$${r}=\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta\:+\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta\right)\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{4}\theta}=\mid\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4}\theta\mid \\ $$$$\left.\Rightarrow\:{A}\right) \\ $$

$${r}\:=\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mid\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4}\theta\mid \\ $$$${r}={r}_{{max}} =\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{4}\theta\:=\:\pm\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${for}\:\:\:\theta\:\in\:\left[\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{2}\pi\right] \\ $$$$\:\:\:\theta=\:\mathrm{0},\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}},\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}},\:\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{4}},\:\pi,\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{4}},\:\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{2}},\frac{\mathrm{7}\pi}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${hence}\:\:\left({A}\right). \\ $$

$$\mathrm{simply}\:\mathrm{because}\:\mathrm{at}\:\theta=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{picture}\:\mathrm{B}\:{r}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{which} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cannot}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mid\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\mathrm{4}\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\mid=\mathrm{1} \\ $$
