Explanation:

2pi/3 is the same thing as 2pi/3 * 180/pi = 120 degrees

From your choices, we know that it is either c or d.

sin(120) is in the 2nd quadrant, so the x is negative and the y is positive. Remember that sin corresponds to the y value, so it is positive. Therefore option (d) is not true.
