Answer: option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the cosine identity:

[tex]cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Given the right triangle shown in the image, you can identify that the adjacent side and the hypotenuse for the angle L of this triangle are:

[tex]adjacent=\sqrt{3}\\hypotenuse=2[/tex]

Now you can substitute values into  [tex]cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Therefore you get:

[tex]cos(L)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

This matches with the option D.
