To find the periodic parent function with an intercept at (0, 1), we can analyze the given options:

1. **y = cos(x)**: The cosine function is periodic, with a period of \(2\pi\). It has an intercept at (0, 1) because \(\cos(0) = 1\).

2. **y = tan(x)**: The tangent function is periodic, but it has vertical asymptotes and does not have an intercept at (0, 1). Instead, \(\tan(0) = 0\).

3. **y = 10^x**: This is an exponential function, not periodic. It has an intercept at (0, 1) because \(10^0 = 1\), but it does not satisfy the periodicity requirement.

4. **y = sin(x)**: The sine function is periodic with a period of \(2\pi\), but it has an intercept at (0, 0) because \(\sin(0) = 0\).

Based on this analysis, the correct choice is:

**y = cos(x)**.

It is periodic and has an intercept at (0, 1).
