Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

All angles are positive when measured counterclockwise from the x-axis.

Terminal side of 240° degrees when measures counterclockwise will lie in the 3rd quadrant.

But the angle is -240°.

That means angle is being measured clockwise from the x-axis.

Therefore, terminal side of the of the angle will be in the 2nd quadrant.

Option (2) will be the correct option.
