The correct answer is: $\log \cot \frac{\theta}{2}$
We have, sech ${ }^{-1}(\sin \theta)$
$\begin{aligned} & =\cos h^{-1}(\operatorname{cosec} \theta) \\ & =\log \left[\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\sqrt{\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta-1\right)}\right] \\ & =\log \cot \frac{\theta}{2}\end{aligned}$
