Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

sin A = opposite / hypotenuse

Therefore, sin A / cos A =

(opposite / hypotenuse)  / (adjacent / hypotenuse)

= (opposite/hypotenuse) * (hypotenuse / adjacent)

= opposite / adjacent

= tan A

Therefore, tan A = sin A / cos A = y/x
