we know that

In the right triangle ABC


sin(A)=(BC)/(AC)= (a)/(b)


cos(A)=(AB)/(AC)= (c)/(b)


tan(A)=(BC)/(AB)= (a)/(c)


sin(C)=(AB)/(AC)= (c)/(b)


cos(C)=(BC)/(AC)= (a)/(b)


tan(C)=(AB)/(BC)= (c)/(a)

therefore

the answer is the option A


tan(A)

The answer would be A) tan A, because of SOHCAHTOA (if you don't know this, it means SOH) sin=opposite/hypotenuse, CAH) cos=adjacent/hypotenuse, and TOA) tan=opposite/adjacent).
