First, let's look at the trigonometric ratios;


\sin \Theta=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)
\cos \Theta=(adjacent)/(hypoteunse)
\tan \Theta=(opposite)/(adjacent)

Let's check each option and see if it is true

A.


\sec \Theta=(1)/(\cos \Theta)
=\frac{1}{\frac{adjacent}{\text{hypotenuse}}}
=\frac{hypotenuse}{\text{adjacent}}

option A is not true

B


\csc \Theta=(1)/(\sin \Theta)
=\frac{1}{\frac{opposite}{\text{hypotenuse}}}
=\frac{hypotenuse}{\text{opposite}}

option B is also not true

Option C is correct because


\sec \Theta=(hypotenuse)/(adjacent)

D


\cot \Theta=(1)/(\tan \Theta)
=\frac{1}{\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}}}
=\frac{adjacent}{\text{opposite}}

option D is not true

Hence, only option C is true
