The tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of opposite side to adjacent side.

Mathematically, it is expressed as

$\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

where, Perpendicular is the opposite side of theta Ф.

and base is the adjacent side of theta Ф.

So, it is ratio and ratio is a type of fraction and it is read as opposite overt adjacent.

But it is not a proportion.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
