The correct answer is: C. opposite/adjacent.

In trigonometry, the tangent function is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite to an angle in a right triangle to the length of the side adjacent to that angle. So, the correct ratio for the tangent function is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.

Option A, hypotenuse/opposite, represents the reciprocal of the tangent r...
