Answer:

-csc⁡(14°)

Explanation:

The given trigonometric expression is csc(-166°)

-166° is in the third quadrant.

It makes an angle of 14° with the x-axis.

Hence the principal angle for -166° is 14°

In the third quadrant the cosecant function is negative.

This implies that;

csc(-166°) =-csc(14°)

The correct choice is the second option.
