By Compound Angles Theorem,


\begin{gathered} \sin ((4\pi)/(3))=\sin ((2\pi)/(3)+(2\pi)/(3))=2\sin ((2\pi)/(3))\cos ((2\pi)/(3))=2(\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2})(-(1)/(2))=-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ \end{gathered}

Recall:


\begin{gathered} \sin ((2\pi)/(3))=\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ \\ \cos ((2\pi)/(3))=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct answer is


-\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}
