Let's put more details in the given figure to better understand the solution:

Let's now determine the Tangent of 60 degrees:


\text{ Tangent (60}^(\circ))\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite}}{\text{ Adjacent}}
\text{ = }\frac{\text{ }\sqrt[]{3}}{1}
\text{ Tangent (60}^(\circ))\text{ = }\sqrt[]{3}

Therefore, the tangent of 60 degrees is √3.

The answer is Option 1 : √3
