Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

In the given triangle ABC,

By applying tangent rule (tan rule) in the given right triangle,

tan B =
\frac{\text{Opposite side of the angle}}{\text{Adjacent side of the angle}}

tan B =
\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{BC}}

tan 60° =
(3)/(x)

x =
\frac{3}{\text{tan60}}

x =
(3)/(√(3))

x =
((√(3))^2)/(√(3))

x =
√(3)

Therefore, measure of the adjacent side AC = √3 unit

Option (1) will be the answer.
