Answer:

(d) -√((2+√2)/(2-√2))

Explanation:

5π/8 is a 2nd-quadrant angle whose reference angle is greater than π/4. This means the tangent is negative with a magnitude greater than 1. The only reasonable choice is ...


\displaystyle -\sqrt{(2+√(2))/(2-√(2))}

_____

Additional comment

This simplifies to -(1+√2). Your calculator can verify the choice for you.
