The correct answer is: \( 00 \)
Given that $I-\int_{-\pi / 4}^{\pi / 4} \log (\sec \theta-\tan \theta) d \theta-0$
Since, $\log (\sec \theta-\tan \theta)$ is an odd function and, if $f(\theta)=\log (\sec \theta-\tan \theta)$
then, $f(-\theta)=\log [\sec \theta+\tan \theta]$
$=-\log (\sec \theta-\tan \theta)=-f(\theta)$
