and what more can you understand about the sine function, like if you try to use a Unit Circle for some/any x angle? (sine is an Even function).

.
-tan(x)*cos(x) = -sin(x) = sin(-x).


The matching expression is  C. sin(-x).

Ignore the answer by @josgarithmetic,   since its final part is incorrect.

The sine is an  ODD  function,  as everybody knows.
