Option 1: $2 \sqrt{3}$

Option 2: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Now, putting the value of A, we get,
$2(\operatorname{cosec} A + \cot A)$
$=\ 2(\operatorname{cosec} 60^\circ + \cot 60^\circ)$
$=\ 2(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\ +\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$
$=\ 2(\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}})$
