Answer: a.opp/adj


Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function, along with sine and cosine, is one of the three most common trigonometric functions.

For any given angle x

\tan\ x=\frac{\sin\ x}{\cos\ x}=\frac{\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}{\frac{\text{side adjacent to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}\\\Rightarrow\tan\ x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}

thus, opp/adj  correctly describes the tangent function.
